Assertion : Increasing the charge on the plates of a capacitor means increasing the capacitance.
Reason : Because


Important Questions on Capacitance
Assertion: The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the shape, size and geometrical placing of the conductors and its medium between them.
Reason: When a charge passes through a battery of emf from the negative terminal to an positive terminal, an amount of work is done by the battery.

Assertion :- A dielectric slab is inserted between the plates of an isolated charged capacitor. The charge on the capacitor will remain the same.
Reason :- Charge on an isolated system is conserved.

Assertion : If three capacitors of capacitance are connected in parallel then their equivalent capacitance
Reason :

Assertion: The capacitance of a capacitor remains the same even if the charge is varied on it.
Reason: Capacitance depends upon nearly medium as well as size and shape of capacitor.

: Energy stored in a capacitor is equal to the work done in charging it.

Assertion : The force with which one plate of a parallel plate capacitor is attracted towards the other plate is equal to square of surface density per per unit area
Reason : The electric field due to one charged plate of the capacitor at the location of the other is equal to surface density per


Three capacitors, each of capacitance $C$ and of breakdown voltage are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be
