Capacitance of Parallel Plate Capacitor

Capacitance of Parallel Plate Capacitor

### Formula

$$C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}$$

### With Dielectric

$$C=\frac{K\epsilon_0A}{d}$$

### Terminologies

- A → Area of plates.

- d → Separation between plates.

- K → Dielectric constant.

### Conditions / Special Cases

Capacitance increases with:

$$A\uparrow$$

Capacitance decreases with:

$$d\uparrow$$

### Usage

- Used in capacitor calculations.
