Statement I: If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is increase three times, then the capacitance becomes six times.
Statement II: Capacitance of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material of the plates.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
The capacitance C, with dielectric between the plates is given as
As,
Then new capacitance is
The capacitance C depends only on the geometrical configuration of the system of two conductors.
