why water has greater dielectric constant than mica?

Solution
Due to its polar nature water has a large dielectric constant, therefore water molecule has a very large electric dipole moment and is forced to rotate to respond to an alternate external electric field. Hence water even being a liquid has a very large dielectric constant, Where as Mica which is less polar as water and hence has low dielectric constant.
