Question:

(a) For a parallel plate capacitor with a fixed plate separation distance, a larger plate area results in (1) a larger capacitance value, (2) an unchanged capacitance value, (3) a smaller capacitance value.
(b) A 2.50-nF parallel plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.514 m2. If the plate area is doubled, what is the new capacitance value?
