Why do capacitors need dielectrics (insulators) in between the two plates(conductors)?What if there is no dielectric in capacitors ?Function of a capacitor is " a capacitor stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field between its plates"
Let's say there is a conductor is between them instead of an insulator I think electrostatic field would be formed in between the plates and hence capacitor will store energy.So,it comes out that what is necessary for formation of capacitor is there has to be some separation in between the two conductors (plates)of capacitor .
Hence answer of
Is dielectric necessary in capacitors?
should be "NO",Right?
