How does increasing the distance between the plates of a capacitor affect its capacitance?

When the distance between the plates of a capacitor increases, the capacitance decreases because capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. The formula for capacitance is: C=ε0⋅A/d​ Where: C is the capacitance, ε0​ is the permittivity of free space, A is the area of the plates, d is the distance between the … Read more
