← ScienceWhich consequence results when a lower dielectric constant material replaces ceramic in a capacitor?
A)Reduced capacitance for a given size✓
B)Increased energy storage capabilities occur
C)Faster discharge rates will dominate
D)Voltage rating becomes significantly limited
💡 Explanation
A reduced dielectric constant lowers capacitance because polarization decreases during charging, therefore less charge accumulates at a given voltage, rather than increasing either the energy storage or voltage handling of the device.
