Statement-I: Capacity of a parallel plate capacitor increases when distance between the plates is decreased. Statement-II: This follows from (C=\frac{\epsilon_9 A}{d}).

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  3. CStatement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
  4. DStatement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.

Correct answer

A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Step-by-step solution

(C=\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}) where dd - distance between them Capacitance of the capacitor is inversely proportional to distanco between them therefore, as capacitance inversed, the diatance between plates decrease.
