Capacitance Change with Dielectric

When air in a capacitor is replaced by a medium of dielectric constant K, the capacity:
Decreases K times
Increases K times
Increases \( K^2 \) times
Remains constant

Solution:

The capacitance of a capacitor is proportional to the permittivity of the medium. Thus, when air is replaced by a dielectric of constant K, capacity increases K times.
