NEET Physics Question - Capacitors - Combination of Capacitors

Assertion (A): Two parallel plates having unequal charges have same capacitance as that of equal and opposite charges on same plates and same configuration.

Reason (R): Capacitance of system/ configuration is independent of charge on plates.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

A: True. The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor, \(C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}\), is a geometric property and does not depend on the specific charge values on the plates, only their configuration.\nR: True. Capacitance is an intrinsic property dependent on geometry and dielectric, not on charge or potential.\n(R) correctly explains (A).
