This is because a capacitor works on the principal of electro-statics. The closer the plates are to each other, the greater the effect of the positive and negative ions attraction across the dielectric constant. The further the plates are from each other, the lesser the attraction hence lower capacitance. Larger plate area increases capacitance also.

If you have ever taken apart an electrolytic capacitor, what you'll find is two thin strips of aluminum foil with a strip of paper between them that was soaked in the electrolytic acid. When you unroll the assembly (wearing gloves), you'll find that the plates are quite long. This makes up the surface area of the two plates, which is one of the factors that determines the capacitance.

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.


Why capacitance increase with a decrease in distance between plates?

Capacitance increases with a decrease in distance between plates because the electric field between the plates becomes stronger, storing more electric charge per unit voltage. This results in a higher capacitance value since the plates can hold more charge for the same applied voltage.


Is it true if supply voltage is increased the capacitance of a RC circuit will decrease?

No. Capacitance is determined by the area of overlap of its plates, the distance between them, and the absolute permittivity of its dielectric.


How do you increase the graviational force between two objects?

Decrease the distance between them.


What would happen to two magnets if the distance between them increase?

As the distance between two magnets increases, the force of attraction or repulsion between them will decrease. This decrease is due to the weakening of the magnetic field as the distance between the magnets increases.


What would be the effect on the gravitational force if you increase mass and increase the distance between the masses?

If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.


Does the increase between two objects increase or decrease the gravitational force between them?

At a greater distance, the gravitational force becomes less.


If the distance between two objects is increase the gravitational force will?

Decrease. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects, so as the distance between them increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.


What are the factor affecting capacitances of capacitance?

The area of the sheets, the distance between them, and the material between them.


What are two things you could do to decrease the force of gravity?

Reduce the total mass or increase the distance between them.


Will the gravitational pull increase or decrease if the distance between two objects increases?

The gravitational pull between two objects will decrease as the distance between them increases. This relationship is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance between two objects.


How do you increase electrostatic forces between two charged objects?

To increase the electrostatic force between two charged objects, you can increase the magnitude of the charges on the objects or decrease the distance between them. Increasing the charge will directly increase the force, while decreasing the distance will increase the force through the inverse square law relationship.
