How Does a Dielectric Material Affect Capacitor Capacitance?

[predentalgirl1]

A capacitor has a capacitance of 50 pF, which increases to 150 pF when a dielectric material is between its plates. What is the dielectric constant of the material?








C = 150 pF and Co = 50 pF
Therefore Dielectric constant K = C/Co
= 150 pF/ 50 pF
= 3
