Step 1
This is because the dielectric material reduces the electric field between the plates, allowing more charge to be stored on the plates for a given voltage. Now, if we remove the dielectric material, the electric field between the plates will increase, which will Show more…

Which one of the following changes, increases the capacitance of a parallel plates capacitor? Increase the charge. Decrease the charge. Increase the distance between plates. Fill the space between plates with a dielectric.
Adi S.
The space between the plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor is filled with a slab of dielectric material. The magnitude of the charge $Q$ on each plate is kept constant. If the dielectric material is removed the energy stored in the capacitor a) increases. c) decreases. b) stays the same. d) may increase or decrease.
