To increase the capacitance of a capacitor you can...
1. increase the size of the plates of place the plates closer together.
2. decrease the voltage.
3. obtain dielectric with a higher k.

One way to increase the capacitance of a capacitor is by completely filling the space between the two conductors, or plates, with a dielectric constant. The capacitance is increased by a factor K if this is achieved.
In terms of capacitance, C, charge, Q, is equal to the potential difference, V, times C. Q = CV. To keep a constant Q, the value of the capacitance can be increased if the potential difference is decreased.
Finally, decreasing the distance between the plates will cause them to have a greater attractive force on each other. More charge will be drawn from the battery, in turn increasing the value of the capacitance.

Three ways to increase capacitance:
1. Decrease distance between the two plates
2. Increase the area of the plates or size of the plates because they will have a greater capacity to store charge.
3. Fill the space between the two plates with a strong dielectric constant

1. You can increase the capacity by making the plates larger so they can hold a greater charge.
2. You can move the plates closer together in order to get a greater attracting force inbetween the two.
3. You can fill the space inbetween the two plates with dielectric constant

Three ways in which the capacitance of a capacitor can be increased are: you could move the two plates closer together, you could fill in the space between the two plates with a powerful dielectric constant, or you could replace the current plates with plates that have a bigger and equal area.

The capacitance of a capacitor can be increased by:
1) increasing the area of the 2 conductors (usually plates),
2) decreasing the distance between these plates, or
3) filling the space between the plates with a dielectric.

Three ways to increase capacitance are:
1.) Increase the size of the plates because that will give them a greater ability to store up charge.
2.) Fill the space between the two plates with a powerful dielectric constant.
3.) Move the plates closer together.

Name: "Nicole McClain"One can increase the capacitance of a capacitor is to increase the size of the conductors of the capacitor, decrease the distance between the two conductors, or if a dieletric element is placed within the area between the conductors.

Name: "Brittany Burns"There are three ways that the capacitance of a capacitor can one increased. One is the move the plates closer together. This is because when the distance decreases, it increases the force in the electric field, therefore increasing the capacitance. Another way to increase the capacitance is to increase the size of the plates because the larger the plates, the larger amount of space that can be used to charge. The final way to increase the capacitance is to put a strong dielectric constant, usually an insulator, between the two plates.

1. Increse the size of the plates.
2. Fill the space between the plates with a dielectric.
3. Decreasing the distance between the plates.

Name: "Danielle Gronlie"
Three ways that one would be able to increase the capacitance of a capacitor are by:
1. Make the distance between two plates smaller. Doing this makes the two more attracted to eachother with a greater force.
2. Increase the area of the plates because with more space, more charge can be held.
3. In the space between the two plates fill in a dielectric constant.

Name: "Greg Lieb"
One way a capacitance in a capacitor can be increased is to decrease the seperation (d) or distance between the two conductor plates in the capacitance. A second way to increase a capacitance is to increase K or the dielectric constant. This means increasing the dielectric so that the it fills the space between the two conductors. A third way to increase the capacitance is to increase the size of the conductor plates, increasing their area, which makes the capacitance more powerful.

Three ways to increase the capacitance of a capacitor:
1. Increase the surface area of both conducting surfaces to increase the charge storing capability
2. Move the conductors closer to each other, creating more force
3. Place a strong dielectric constant in the space between the conductors

Name: "Ryan Carson"To increase the capacitance of a capacitor, increase the size of the plates, decrease the distance between the plates, or put a dielectric bewteen the plates.

A few ways that the capacitance of a capacitor can be increased are,
1: increasing the size of the plates
2: using a dielectric to fill the space between the plates
3:making the distance between the plates smaller
