The presence of a dielectric between the plates of capacitors, the capacitance of capacitor ______?
Everyday Science / Physics — Multiple-choice practice
- A. Increases
- B. Remain constant
- C. Remain uncharged
- D. Decreases
Correct answer
Increases
Explanation
Explanation The presence of a dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor increases the capacitance of the capacitor. The dielectric material reduces the electric field between the plates, allowing more charge to be stored on the plates , and thus increasing the capacitance.
