Question 12 POST_UTME_PAN-ATLANTIC_UNIVERSITY • 2020 • PHYSICS • objective

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area ( A ) separated by a dis\tance ( d ). The plates are charged to a potential difference ( V ). The capaci\tance ( C ) of the capacitor is given by \( C = \frac{epsilon_0 A}{d} \). If the area of the plates is doubled, what is the new capaci\tance?

Answer Options

A. \( \frac{epsilon_0 A}{d} \)
B. \( \frac{2epsilon_0 A}{d} \)
Correct Answer C. \( \frac{4epsilon_0 A}{d} \)
D. \( \frac{8epsilon_0 A}{d} \)
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
\( \frac{4epsilon_0 A}{d} \)
