B)increase voltage
C)increase capacitance
D)decrease capacitance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inserting a dielectric material between two charged parallel conducting plates will increase the capacitance of the capacitor. This is because the dielectric material reduces the electric field strength between the plates, allowing more charge to be stored on the plates for a given voltage. However, the charge on the plates remains the same, and the voltage across the plates does not change.
