When a dielectric material is introduced between the plates ofa parallel plate capacitor the capacitance increases by a factor of4. What is the dielectric constant of the material introducedbetween the plates? A) 1/4 B) 0.4 C) 2 D) 4 E) none of the other choices is correct Why?

Explanation / Answer
To increase capacitance by factor of 4,dielectric with dielctric constant 4 must be introduced between theplates.
