Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor depends solely on the geometrical configuration (shape, size, separation of the plates) and the medium between the plates. Statement II: Capacitance increases linearly with the amount of charge \( Q \) supplied to the plates. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Capacitance \( C = \frac{\varepsilon A}{d} \) is a geometric and material property, independent of the charge \( Q \) and potential \( V \). Thus, Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
