A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its plates. What happens to the electric field between the plates as the dielectric is inserted?

    Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

    Explanation:

    A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

    Types of dielectric material

    Ceramic, Mica paper glass
