Q. Assertion : Increasing the charge on the plates of a capacitor means increasing the capacitance
Reason : Capacitance is directly proportional to charge

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

On increasing the charge, potential increases. But capacity of a capacitor is fixed by geometry of condenser $\left(C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0}A}{d}\right)$. Capacitance is independent of charge
