Effect Of Increasing Area on a Parallel Plate Capacitor

When the surface area of a capacitor increase, it's capacity to store charge (it's capacitance) increases according to the equation  
\[C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}\]
  (1)
What happens to the voltage?
If the charge per unit surface area is  
\[\sigma\]
  then the charge stored on the capacitor is  
\[Q= \sigma A\]

Substitute this last equation and (1) into the equation  
\[Q=VC\]

\[\sigma_0 A = V \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}\]

We can cancel  
\[A\]
  from both sides.
\[\sigma_0 = V \frac{\epsilon_0 }{d}\]

This equation is independent of  
\[A\]
  and reflects that increasing the area increases the capacitance and charge in proportion. typically the voltage is kept constant anyway by a batter.
