12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electric Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    ASSERTION: Capacity of a parallel plate capacitor increases when distance between the plates is decreased.
    REASON: Capacitance of capacitor is inversely proportional to distance between them.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is \[C=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}\]. Thus distance decreases and capacitance of capacitor increases.
