Not much if it is a fixed capaitor. If it is a variable capacitor, rotating the shaft to mesh the two sets of plates more closely will increase the capacitance.

Doubling the plate area of a capacitor will?

increase the capacitance of the capacitor by a factor of two. This is because capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates.


Function of dielectric in a capacitor?

The main role of dielectrics in capacitors is to increase the value of capacitance of the capacitor.


Why does capacitance increase when the distance between the plates of a capacitor is increased?

you have it reversed. capacitance increases with decrease in distance of plates.


What will be the effect on ripple factor if the value of capacitor is reduced?

Ripples will increase if capacitance is decreased.


How do you increase the value of a capacitor?

A: Any additional capacitor added in parallel will effectively increase to total capacitance by that value. Note that additional capacitor added must have the same voltage rating as the other


What will the affect of capacitance of a capacitor when a conductor is placed between a capacitor?

capacitance will tend to zero


How does the size of an electrolyte capacitor vary with its capacitance value?

A: Capacitance vary directly with the area applied the bigger the area the bigger the capacitor. There is another element that will increase the size that is the rating of the capacitor voltage since more material will have to be used to insulate the plates


What is the role of a dielectric in enhancing the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?

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.


What is the relationship between potential difference and capacitance in a capacitor?

The relationship between potential difference and capacitance in a capacitor is that the potential difference across a capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance. This means that as the capacitance of a capacitor increases, the potential difference across it also increases, and vice versa.


What means by the name capacitance of a capacitor?

The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.


'when frequency is increased why capacitance increases in a capacitor'?

Answer: Capacitance is unaffected by frequency; it does not change. Details: Capacitance is unaffected by frequency. In a capacitor, what increases with Frequency is Admittance (analogus to Conductance) . The capacitive Reactance is inversely proportional to Frequency. Therefore, when Frequency is increased, current flow may increase.


What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?

A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
