Dielctric Use

A dielectric is used in capacitors to enhance capacitance by preventing direct contact between plates while allowing polarization. This reduces the electric field strength, enabling greater charge storage at a given voltage. Essentially, the dielectric acts as an insulator that facilitates charge storage without permitting current flow.

A dielectric is placed in a capacitor to increase its capacitance by preventing direct contact between

the capacitor plates while allowing for polarization of the dielectric material, which effectively
reduces the electric field strength between the plates, enabling the capacitor to store more charge
at a given voltage; essentially, it acts as an insulator that allows for charge storage without allowing
current to flow through it
