What happens to the capacitance when a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor?(a) Capacitance decreases(b) Capacitance remains same(c) Capacitance increases(d) Depends upon the material of the dielectricThe question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My question is taken from Capacitors and Capacitance topic in portion Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT CHOICE is (c) Capacitance increases

For explanation I would say: When a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of the parallel PLATE capacitor, the capacitance of the capacitor increases with a factor of K. That is C=KC0.
