Question
What happens to the charge on a parallel-plate capacitor if the potential difference doubles?
Step 1
The charge \( Q \) on a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ Q = C \times V \] where \( C \) is the capacitance and \( V \) is the potential difference across the plates. Show more…

If the voltage between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is doubled, what will happen to the capacitance of the capacitor?
How does the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor change if you double the magnitude of the charge on its plates? If you triple the potential difference across the plates? What assumptions did you make?
