Question

Which statement lists the factors on which capacitance depends?

Options

• Only the dielectric medium and the charge already stored

• Geometry of the conductors, size of the conductors, distance between them, and nature of the dielectric medium

• Only the potential difference and the charge on each conductor

• Charge stored, applied potential difference, and current through the conductors

Answer 1

Capacitance depends on conductor geometry and size, the distance between the conductors, and the nature of the dielectric medium. These factors determine capacitance.
