MCQ
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 dielectric.

Answer

  1. Capacitance increases.

Explanation:

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.
