Hey student,

Capacity of condenser also known as capacitance is amount of charge it can carry. It depends on two factors which are as follows:

1. Surface Area of Condenser Plates : Capacity of condenser is directly proportional to area of plates

2. Distance Between Two Plates : Capacity of condenser is inversely proportional to distance between two plates

I hope it helps.

Hello.
The amount of charge carried by the condenser is called as Capacity of Condenser.
The capacity of Condenser depends on :
  1. Surface area of Condenser
  2. Distance between the two plates of Condenser.

The capacity is directly proportional to the surface area and inversely proportional to the distance.



Hope it helps

Hi Amisha,

The amount of electrical charge that a capacitor can store on its plates is known as its Capacitance value.

The capacity of a condenser mainly depends upon the following factors:

Surface Area – the surface area, A of the two conductive plates which make up the capacitor, the larger the area the greater the capacitance.

Capacity of condenser is inversely proportional to distance between two plates

Finally it depends on the nature of material within the plates where the charge is held, also called the permittivity of the material.


Hope this helps!
