AP Physics 2
10.6 Capacitors
Three air-filled parallel-plate capacitors, labeled \(P\), \(Q\), and \(R\), are constructed with different plate areas and plate separation distances, as shown in the table.
Which of the following correctly ranks the capacitances \(C_P\), \(C_Q\), and \(C_R\) of the three capacitors from greatest to least?
| Capacitor | Plate Area | Separation Distance |
|---|---|---|
| \(P\) | \(A_0\) | \(d_0\) |
| \(Q\) | \(2A_0\) | \(2d_0\) |
| \(R\) | \(2A_0\) | \(d_0\) |
