Replacing the dielectric medium in a capacitor with a material that has a higher dielectric constant increases the capacitance of the capacitor. This is due to the relationship defined by the formula C = εA/d, where C is capacitance, ε is the permittivity of the dielectric material, A is the area of the plates, and d is the distance between them. A higher dielectric constant results in greater permittivity, thereby enhancing the capacitor's ability to store electric charge.
