Which outcome occurs when a dielectric material with high permittivity is inserted between capacitor plates?

💡 Explanation

When a high permittivity dielectric is inserted, polarization increases inside the dielectric material because applied electric fields align with material dipoles leading to an increase in overall charge storage capacity. Therefore, capacitance and stored energy increase, rather than decreasing or causing leakage which needs alternate conductivity or defect pathways.
