(D) Distance between the plates

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (B) and (C) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(B), (C) and (D) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C) and (D) only

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{\varepsilon A}{d}$

It depends on:

(B) Area of plates

(C) Permittivity of the medium between the plates

(D) Distance between the plates

Correct options: (B), (C), (D)
