      Question

      A dielectric placed between the plates of a capacitor

      increases its:
      A Capacitance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Voltage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Electric field Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Charge Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      When a dielectric is placed between the plates of a capacitor, it increases the capacitance of the capacitor. The capacitance C with a dielectric is given by: C = ΞΊCβ‚€ Where ΞΊ is the dielectric constant and Cβ‚€ is the original capacitance without the dielectric. Thus, the capacitance increases as the dielectric reduces the electric field inside the capacitor, allowing it to store more charge at the same voltage.
