Which of the following statements correctly describe the relationship between electric field strength, distance between charged plates, and capacitance? Select all that apply.

The electric field between two parallel plates is the voltage divided by the distance, so a larger spacing makes the field weaker for the same voltage. Because the capacitance of a parallel‑plate capacitor equals the permittivity times the area divided by the separation, a bigger gap lowers the capacitance. Thus, increasing the distance reduces both the field strength (for fixed voltage) and the capacitance, while decreasing the distance does the opposite. For example, if you double the plate separation, the field halves and the capacitance is cut in half, assuming the plate area stays the same.
