← ScienceWhich outcome is expected when a dielectric material is introduced into a capacitor's electric field?
A)Increased capacitance and reduced voltage✓
B)Decreased capacitance higher breakdown voltage
C)Maintain capacitance lower charge storage
D)Increased voltage unaffected capacitance
💡 Explanation
Insertion polarizes the dielectric, opposing the electric field, decreasing voltage, because the increased stored charge from Polarization of dielectric leads to an overall higher capacitance value; therefore voltage drops, rather than other changed quantities under other material circumstances.
