Hi, so I'm having a little trouble understanding why... you would put a dielectric in between a parallel plate capacitor? I know it increases the capacitance but it does so by lowering the potential difference sooo... The charge is still the same, I believe the potential energy also decreases as well. (correct me if any of what I said was wrong, sorry)
So yeah, if I got my thinking straight, what's the point of putting a dielectric in there? Also am I wrong to say increasing the capacitance, here would do nothing... well great?
Thanks
