When a dielectric is inserted into a capacitor, the electric field between the plates of the capacitor decreases. However, the charge on the capacitor plates remains the same, so the same number of electric field lines leaves the plates. How is it possible then for the electric field between the plates of the capacitor to decrease?.

It is possible for the electric field between the plates of the capacitor to

decrease if the total number of electric field lines between the capacitors

will decrease.

What is a Capacitor?

This is a device which stores electrical energy in an electric field. It has two

terminals which aids its storage characteristics.

When the dielectric is inserted, it completely fills the space between the

plates which leads to a decrease in the electrostatic potential energy of

the capacitor. This leads to the electric field and field line experiencing a

corresponding decrease.
