137. Which of the following will NOT increase the capacitance of a capacitor?
       
A. Decrease distance between the plates.              A
C = keo---
              d

Decreasing d increases capacitance

B. Increase the area of the plates.              A
C = keo---
              d

Increasing A increases capacitance

C. Replace quartz, k = 4.3, with mica, k = 7. C = kCo  increasing k increases capacitance.
D. Rolling the plates into a cylinder form.              A
C = keo---
              d

Rolling the plates into a cylinder form changes neither A nor d.   Capacitance is unchanged.

The Correct Answer is D.
