← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a dielectric material with increasing temperature is inserted into parallel plate capacitor?
A)Capacitance increases non-linearly✓
B)Voltage decreases proportionally
C)Stored charge decreases linearly
D)Electric field remains constant
💡 Explanation
When a temperature-sensitive dielectric is inserted, thermal expansion and increased molecular polarization occurs improving dielectric constant non-linearly because temperature changes materials permittivity capacity, increasing capacitance despite constant voltage. Therefore capacitance increases non-linearly, rather than charge decrease, voltage decrease, or constant field, which depend on separate conditions.
