If a capacitor C having selectivity factor Q is scaled down in all its dimensions by a factor K without any altering the dielectric material, the new capacitor will have capacitance and selectivity as

  • A.C, 
  • B.

    , Q
  • C.
  • D.C, K

Answer: B

Since the dimension of plates is scaled down by K, the area decreases by a factor of K2, the distance between plates decreases by a factor of K.

Therefore, capacitance changes to .

The selectivity will not be affected.
