Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
Increasing the distance between charged plates decreases the electric field strength.
Decreasing the distance between charged plates increases capacitance.
The electric field strength is directly proportional to the distance between the plates.
Capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.
Increasing the distance between charged plates has no effect on the charge flow.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When the plates are farther apart, the electric field becomes weaker, because the same voltage is spread over a longer distance. Other options are incorrect because The idea that the field grows with more distance mixes up distance and field; Thinking that distance never changes charge flow ignores that the field guides the motion.
