Science

Which consequence results when the dielectric constant of an insulating material within a capacitor significantly decreases?

A)Stored energy becomes substantially lower
B)Capacitance experiences minimal overall change
C)Voltage accelerates past critical breakdown
D)Leakage current decreases exponentially lower

💡 Explanation

Reduced dielectric constant decreases capacitance, because the polarization effect less effectively opposes stored charge; therefore stored energy decreases because energy density depends directly on capacitance, rather than exhibiting increased voltage or current.
