No, this answer is wrong because capacitance does not depend upon the area of the plate it depends upon the area of dielectric material.

Rohan said: 6 years ago

C is directly proportional to the plate area.

Mukesh said: 7 years ago

Capacitances = area of the plate/thickiness of dielectrical.

Rajesh Dey said: 8 years ago

Here, C=A/t (A=area of the plate, t= thickness of dielectric).

MUKESH KUMAR said: 1 decade ago

C = e*(A/D). SO AREA IS PROPORTIONAL TO CAPACITANCE.

Joseph Appiah said: 1 decade ago

Capacitance is directly proportional to area so plate area increases, this will increase the C.

Cm prasad said: 1 decade ago

Capacitance is inversely proportional to distance between plates.

Ashraf said: 1 decade ago

C is proportional to area of plates as we have formula.
