← ScienceWhich mechanism affects charge storage when increasing dielectric thickness?
A)Capacitance decreases non-linearly.
B)Capacitance decrease proportionally.✓
C)Capacitance remains unchanged.
D)Capacitance increases proportionally.
💡 Explanation
Electrostatic capacitance decreases proportionally with increasing dielectric thickness because increased separation impedes charge accumulation via Gauss's Law; therefore, capacitance decreases linearly, rather than any non-linear relation or an increase, under the given constraint.
