Statement – I : For a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric material in between the plate, the capacitance is more on a cold day as compared to that on a hot day.
Statement – II: As temperature increases the net polarization in the dielectric material placed in an external electric field decreases.

Detailed Solution

The polarization of the molecules in the dielectric increase the capacitance. On a hot day as temperature is more, there is more vibrational motion of the polarized molecules and hence net polarization decreased, which further results in decrease in capacitance.
