Question

What is an electric polarization of a dielectric? What is the effect on capacitance of a capacitor when a dielectric of width ‘t’ is placed between the two plates of parallel plate capacitor

Answer 1

Answer:

The strength of the electric field is reduced due to the presence of dielectric. 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.
