The presence of a dielectric between the plates of capacitors, the capacitance of capacitor ______?
Answer: Increases
Explanation
The presence of a dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor increases the capacitance of the capacitor.
The dielectric material reduces the electric field between the plates, allowing more charge to be stored on the plates, and thus increasing the capacitance.
