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

How a capacitor store charge?

by using capacitor plates. The length,area ,thickness and type of the plate determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.


If you have a parallel plate capacitor of plate area 'A' and plate separation t and having a capacity C and a metallic plate r of area A and of negligible thickness is introduced in the capacitor at a?

Pursuant to Ohms Law, we can deduce that the answer is the square root of Pi divided by C*R+A.


Does increasing the plate area of a capacitor increases the capacitance?

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.


How does the basic geometry of a parallel plate capacitor not affect its capacitance?

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.


What is the potential difference across each capacitor when the plate separation is doubled?

When the plate separation of a capacitor is doubled, the potential difference across each capacitor remains the same.


What is the electric potential inside a parallel-plate capacitor?

How can you identify that which plate of capacitor is positively charged?

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.


Which plate of capacitor is plus charged?

Whichever plate is connected to the positive end of a battery.


What is the relationship between the electric field and the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?

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.
