The capacitance of a capacitor with charge q and a potential difference V depends on (a) both q and V (b) the geometry of the capacitor (c) q only (d) V only

Answer: (b). C = q/V, but q and V change in the same proportion, so their ratio is fixed. C depends only on size, shape, separation of conductors and the medium, e.g. C = (ε₀ A)/(d). So the answer is (b) the geometry of the capacitor.

Capacitance of a Conductor

The capacitance of a capacitor with charge $q$ and a potential difference $V$ depends on

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

$C = \frac{q}{V}$ , but $q$ and $V$ change in the same proportion, so their ratio is fixed.
$C$ depends only on size, shape, separation of conductors and the medium, e.g. $C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}$ .
So the answer is (b) the geometry of the capacitor.
