Q: What is the effect of dielectric material on capacitance?
Solution:
The presence of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what capacitance is. Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store electrical energy.
Step 2: Know what a dielectric material is. A dielectric is an insulating material that can be placed between the plates of a capacitor.
Step 3: Recognize that when a dielectric material is added between the plates of a capacitor, it affects the electric field.
Step 4: Realize that the dielectric material reduces the electric field strength between the plates.
Step 5: Understand that this reduction in electric field allows the capacitor to store more charge.
Step 6: Conclude that because the capacitor can store more charge with the dielectric, its capacitance increases.
