text: Basically, a dielectric is a material that does not conduct electricity.
text: The final thing we thing we can do to increase the capacitance is to change the dielectric (the material between the plates).
text: Essentially, a capacitor is like a small battery, producing a potential difference (i.e., a voltage) between the two plates, separated by the insulating divider called the dielectric (which can be many materials, but is often ceramic, glass, wax paper or mica), which prevents current from flowing from one plate to the other, thereby maintaining the stored charge.
text: Dielectrics are materials that are poor conductors of electricity.
