In a parallel plate capacitor, if the distance between the plates is increased, what happens to the capacitance? (2022)
It increases
It decreases
It remains the same
It becomes zero
The capacitance (C) of a parallel plate capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance (d) between the plates. If d increases, C decreases.
