If a capacitor C having selectivity factor Q is scaled down in all its dimensions by a factor K without any altering the dielectric material, the new capacitor will have capacitance and selectivity as
Options
A. C,
B. , Q
C. ,
D. C, K
Correct Answer
, Q
Explanation
Since the dimension of plates is scaled down by K, the area decreases by a factor of K2, the distance between plates decreases by a factor of K.
Therefore, capacitance changes to .
The selectivity will not be affected.
