What does the capacitance of a given capacitor depend on?
AThe current flowing in it
BThe voltage applied to it
CIts geometry and the insulator
DThe charge stored on it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Its geometry and the insulator
Q and V rise in proportion, so C is fixed by the shape, size, spacing and the medium between the conductors.
