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

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.
