Question

What happens to the capacitance of a capacitor when a dielectric slab is placed between its plates?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to capacitance C of the capacitor. ... If the total charge on the plates is kept constant, then the potential difference is reduced across the capacitor plates. In this way, dielectric increases the capacitance of the capacitor.
