Question

Which set lists the factors on which capacitance depends?

Options

• Only the amount of charge given to one conductor

• Only the colour and temperature of the conductors

• Size, shape, separation of conductors, and the dielectric medium between them

• Only the charge already stored and the applied potential difference

Answer 1

Capacitance depends on the size and shape of the conductors, their separation, and the dielectric medium between them. It does not depend directly on the charge already stored or applied potential difference.
