Homework Statement



Consider a charged parallel-plate capacitor. How can its capacitance be halved?
Check all that apply.

Double the charge.
Double the plate area.
*Double the plate separation.
*Halve the charge.
*Halve the plate area.
Halve the plate separation

Homework Equations



C = Q/V


The Attempt at a Solution



I know for sure that the capacitance can be reduced if the area decreases and separation increases. The part I am unsure is if the capacitance is decreased if the charge is decreased, although I am leaning more towards it does, since there will be less charge spread around the area of the plate. Thanks in advance. :smile:
