Which 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.
