On increasing the charge, potential increases. But capacity of a capacitor is fixed by geometry of condenser (C=(ε0A/d)). Capacitance is independent of charge

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

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

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