    Mayank Tripathi
    This document provides information about capacitance and dielectric materials. It discusses that a dielectric material is non-conducting and has no free movement of charges. Common dielectric materials include porcelain, mica, glass, plastics and metal oxides. It also explains that dielectric materials can have polar or non-polar molecules. When a dielectric is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance increases by a factor of the dielectric constant K. The dielectric induces bound charges on its surface when an electric field is applied. Several examples are provided to illustrate calculating equivalent capacitance values of capacitors with dielectric materials.
