A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of area $A$ separated by a dis\tance $d$. The capaci\tance is given by $C = \frac{epsilon_0 A}{d}$. If the area of the plates is doubled and the dis\tance between them is halved, what is the new capaci\tance?

Answer Options

A. $\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$
B. $\frac{2\epsilon_0 A}{d}$
C. $\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d/2}$
Correct Answer D. $\frac{4\epsilon_0 A}{d/2} = 8\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
$\frac{4\epsilon_0 A}{d/2} = 8\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$
