What is the result of changing the dielectric in a capacitor to a dielectric with a larger dielectric constant?

Solution

Dielectrics
Dielectrics are insulators or poor conductors of electricity that are present between the two conducting places and used to basically stop the flow of current.

Where A is the area of plates overlapping in square meters and d is the distance between the plates in meter.

The dielectric constant is defined as the ratio of the permittivity of the substance to the permittivity of the free space.

It is mathematically expressed as: K=∈∈0

Where, κ is the dielectric constant,∈ is the permittivity of the substance,∈0 is the permittivity of the free space.

Now, the changing of dielectric in a capacitor to a dielectric with large dielectric constant results in more collection of charge at a given potential difference.
