Question

What would happen if two insulating plates were used instead of conducting
plates to construct a capacitor?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:inside conductors there are abundance of free electrons at room temperature. #now if the plates are replaced by insulator, then there is no free electron to move and cause charge separation...so effectively we would store almost negligible amount of charge. So it will not act like a capacitor.

Answer 2

Answer:

Since ,There are no free electrons in insulator , Charge distribution as in conducting plates will not take place.

Hence it will not store charge and not behave like a capacitor.
