Graph between potential difference between plates of a capacitor and charge stored on it is given for two capacitors. Which capacitor has higher capacitance?

Answer:

As given in the graph, \[{{\left. \frac{V}{Q} \right|}_{1}}{{\left. >\frac{V}{Q} \right|}_{2}}{{\left. \text{or}\,\,\frac{Q}{V} \right|}_{1}}<{{\left. \frac{Q}{V} \right|}_{2}}\] Since, we know that, Capacitance of a capacitor, \[C=\frac{Q}{V}\] Where symbols have their usual meaning. Therefore, \[{{C}_{1}}<{{C}_{2}}\]
