Capacitance Vs Frequency and Voltage

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between capacitance, voltage, and frequency. Capacitance is directly related to voltage, as described by the standard equation Q = C × V, where Q is charge, C is capacitance, and V is voltage. Participants express a need for a theoretical explanation of why capacitance decreases with increasing frequency, rather than a purely mathematical approach. Observations from capacitor measurements indicate this inverse relationship, prompting a request for clarification on the underlying theory. The conversation emphasizes the importance of experimental data to support theoretical understanding.

Would you kindly help me in describing the relationship between

1. capacitance and voltage and why?

and

2. Why does with increase in frequency the capacitance decreases ?

-1- What is the equation relating the charge on a capacitor to the capacitance and voltage? It is a standard equation, and should be there in your textbook.

-2- What capacitance decreases with frequency? You need to be more detailed in this question, and you need to try to answer it for us. We do not give out answers here at the PF. After you show your work, we can try to offer tutorial help.

(Please re-read the "Rules" link at the top of the page.)
 
Iam aware of the equation.I was actually looking for an explanation not mathematical to understand the logic behind the decrease in the capacitance with the increase in frequency.I have made capacitor measurements and observed the behaviour in the similar manner . Now i need to understand the theory relating to the inverse relationship between the capacitance and the frequency measurements.

There is no relationship like that which I'm aware of. What was your experimental setup, and what were your measured data?
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
