SUMMARY
Mica is an insulator with a dielectric constant of approximately 5, making it suitable for use in capacitor construction due to its ability to enhance capacitance compared to air. The formula for capacitance, C=κC, indicates that incorporating mica can increase the overall capacitance of capacitors. Despite its effectiveness, mica has largely been replaced by ceramic materials in modern applications. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding dielectric properties when selecting materials for capacitors.
