Exam-style question
Try this first
Which of the following factors does NOT affect the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?.
- A.Plate area
- B.Separation distance
- C.Material between the plates
- D.Shape of the plates
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Shape of the plates
Explanation
Why this works
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is affected by the plate area, separation distance, and the dielectric material between the plates, but not by the shape of the plates.
