The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor changes when a dielectric is inserted between the plates. This is mainly due to



▸

the existence of denser matter than air or vacuum, which forms a barrier for electric field lines and reduces the electric field in the region.



▸

the polarizability of the material, which sets up an electric field opposite to the applied field, thus reducing the electric field strength in the region.



▸

the fact that dielectrics have excess charge that then “shields” the plates from each other, reducing the electric field in the region.



▸

None of these.
