Question

which material increases the capacitance of the capacitor between its plates

Answer 1

Answer:

dielectric material

Parallel Plate Capacitor

The factor by which the dielectric material, or insulator, increases the capacitance of the capacitor compared to air is known as the Dielectric Constant, (k). “k” is the ratio of the permittivity of the dielectric medium being used to the permittivity of free space otherwise known as a vacuum.
