The following statements are advantages of a solid dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor except that
the maximum potential difference the capacitor can withstand is increased
it increases the electrical conduction of the capacitor.
the capacitance of the capacitor of given dimensions is much greater than that of the plates in a vacuum.
it keeps the plates at a fixed separation.
Correct answer is B
The statement that is not an advantage of a solid dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor is:
it increases the electrical conduction of the capacitor.
In fact, one of the primary advantages of using a solid dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor is that it reduces electrical conduction between the plates. Dielectric materials are insulators, and they prevent the flow of electric current between the plates, thus increasing the capacitor's ability to store charge.
