Question

A dielectric material such as paper is placed between the plates of a capacitor holding a fixed charge. What happens to the electric field between the plates

Answer 1

Majorly the electric field is reduced among other effect listed in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In capacitors the presence of di-electric materials

1. decreases the electric fields

2. increases the capacitance of the capacitors.

3. decreases the voltage hence limiting the flow of electric current.

The di-electric material serves as an insulator between the metal plates of the capacitors
