How does the capacitance of a capacitor change if the plate area is doubled while maintaining the plate separation and dielectric constant?

Capacitance is halved

Capacitance is doubled

Capacitance remains the same

Capacitance is quadrupled

Capacitance is directly proportional to the plate area.

Doubling the area doubles the capacitance, given formula C = e0e_r(A/d).

This is due to the increased ability to hold charge with larger plates.
