Does an increase in Capacitance mean a decrease in voltage?
Thanks!
Thanks!
If the charge on the capacitor doesn't change the voltage will decrease. (V = Q/C). If it does change it depends on the circuit and what you do to it.matangi7 said:in series^

Capacitance and voltage are directly proportional to each other. This means that as the voltage increases, the capacitance also increases. Similarly, as the voltage decreases, the capacitance decreases.
The formula for calculating capacitance is C = Q/V, where C is the capacitance in farads (F), Q is the charge in coulombs (C), and V is the voltage in volts (V).
The distance between two charged plates affects capacitance inversely. This means that as the distance between the plates increases, the capacitance decreases, and vice versa.
Yes, capacitance can change with varying voltage. This is because the amount of charge (Q) stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to the voltage (V). Therefore, as the voltage changes, the charge and capacitance also change.
Capacitance plays a crucial role in the storage and discharge of electrical energy. A higher capacitance allows for a larger amount of charge to be stored, meaning more energy can be stored. Additionally, a lower capacitance allows for faster discharge of energy.
