Consider a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area a and with separation d. What will happen to the capacitance if the area is halved and the distance is doubled?
1. The capacitance will be half of the original capacitance
2. The capacitance will be twice the original capacitance
3. The capacitance will be four times the original capacitance
4. The capacitance will be a quarter of the original capacitance
