Electrostatics Question 37
Question: The true statement is, on increasing the distance between the plates of a parallel plate condenser
Options:
A) The electric intensity between the plates will decrease
B) The electric intensity between the plates will increase
C) The electric intensity between the plates will remain unchanged
D) The P.D. between the plates will decrease
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Electric field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor $ E=\frac{\sigma }{{\varepsilon _{0}}}=\frac{Q}{A{\varepsilon _{0}}} $ i.e. $ E\propto d^{o} $
