Exam-style question
Try this first
Which factor does NOT affect the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?.
- A.Plate area
- B.Separation distance between plates
- C.Type of dielectric material
- D.Current flowing through the capacitor
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Current flowing through the capacitor
Explanation
Why this works
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is affected by the plate area, separation distance, and the type of dielectric material, but not by the current flowing through it.
