How to Increase Capacitance of a Capacitor?
The capacitance of any capacitor can be increased by following the method mentioned below:
- By reducing the space between the two plates of the capacitor.
- By increasing the Area of the plates of the capacitor.
- By inserting a suitable dielectric material between the plates of the capacitor.
Capacitance
Capacitance is defined as the capacity of any material to store electric charge. The substance that stores the electric charge is called a capacitor, i.e. the ability of the capacitor to hold the electric charge is called capacitance. It is denoted with the symbol C and is defined as the ratio of the electric charge stored inside a capacitor by the voltage applied.
Thus, any material that has a tendency to store electric charge is called a capacitor and the ability of the material to hold electric charge is called the capacitance of the material. In this article, we will learn about capacitance, its formula, capacitor, and others in detail.
