Yes. Increasing the plate area of a capacitor increases the capacitance. The equation of a simple plate capacitor is ...
C = ere0(A/D)
... where C is capacitance, er is dielectric constant (about 1, for a vacuum), e0 is electric constant (about 8.854 x 10-12 F m-1), A is area of overlap, and D is distance between the plates. (This is only a good estimate if D is small in comparison to A.) Looking at this, you can see that capacitance is proportional to plate area.
no
any capacitance is given by equation C = (epsilon * A/ d) where d is distance between two plates, thus as d reduces C increases. Now, in depletion region as we increase reverse bias, the depletion region width increases. Now consider depletion region as a parallel plate capacitor, with positive charges on n side and negative charges on p side. Thus, as reverse bias increases, d of junction capacitance increases thus capacitance reduces. On other hand, as reverse bias reduces, d of junction capacitance reduces, thus capacitance increases. -Amey Churi
The rating or 'size' of a capacitor, called its "capacitance", is related the amount of charge the capacitor can store, to the amount of energy it holds when it stores some charge, and to the opposition of the capacitor to the apparent flow of alternating current through it. If a capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad, then -- One coulomb of charge stripped off of one plate and added to the other plate produces 1 volt of potential difference between the plates. -- The energy stored in the capacitor is 1/2 the square of the voltage across it. -- Its impedance is (0.159 divided by the frequency) ohms. The farad is an enormous capacitance. A typical capacitor used in a 'lumped' circuit ... the kind of construction where you would buy a capacitor and solder it in ... has a capacitance in the range of maybe 10 picofarads (trillionths of a farad) to maybe 100 microfarads (millionths of a farad).
FOR tESTING THE SIGN OF CHARGE ON BODY, a device called GOLD LEAF ELECTROSCOPE. When the disc of a positively charged is touched with any plate of the charge capacitor. IF the divergence of gold leaf increases, then the plate is positively charged and if the divergence in the leaf decrease then the plate of the capacitor is nagatively charged.
capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the platesproof :-electric field is ;- k/E0where k- surface charge density of the plateand potential difference is given by kl/E0and, capacitance by C=Q/Vso, capacitance is inversely proportional to separation between the plates
The electric field strength in a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the capacitance of the capacitor. This means that as the capacitance increases, the electric field strength also increases.
The basic geometry of a parallel plate capacitor does not affect its capacitance because capacitance is determined by the area of the plates and the distance between them, not their shape or size.
increase the capacitance of the capacitor by a factor of two. This is because capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates.
A dielectric in a parallel plate capacitor helps increase the capacitance by reducing the electric field strength between the plates, allowing more charge to be stored.
no
The capacitance won't change, or it won't change significantly. The capacitance is simply the charge/voltage ratio - and if the charge doubles, the voltage will also double. Capacitance is determined by the physical properties of the capacitor (plate separation, plate area, and dielectric). The unit for capacitance (farad) is a coulomb per volt. So the capacitance is the amount of charge (coulombs) that the plates will hold at a given voltage.
No, the charge on a parallel plate capacitor does not depend on the distance between the plates. The charge stored in the capacitor is determined by the voltage applied across the plates and the capacitance of the capacitor. The distance between the plates affects the capacitance of the capacitor, but not the charge stored on it.
You could measure it with a Capacitance meter. Or you could use the formula:In a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance is directly proportional to the surface area of the conductor plates and inversely proportional to the separation distance between the plates. If the charges on the plates are +q and −q, and V gives the voltage between the plates, then the capacitance C is given byFor further info on the total value of capacitance in series or parallel, Google it.
If voltage is increased, capacitance remains constant. Capacitance is determined by the physical properties of the capacitor, such as plate area, distance between plates, and permittivity of the material, and is not affected by changes in voltage applied across the capacitor.

The capacitance of parallel-plate capacitors increases with the surface area of the plates. This means that capacitors with larger surface areas have higher capacitance compared to capacitors with smaller surface areas.
