MCQ
What happens to the capacitance when a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor?
- ACapacitance decreases.
- BCapacitance remains same.
- CCapacitance increases.
- DDepends upon the material of the dielectric.

Answer
- 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.
