Explanation: Metals are assumed to have a high value of dielectric constant so they have high capacitance.
What is the medium between capacitors?
Capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. The medium between the plates. The presence of dielectric medium between the plates increases then capacitance of the capacitor.
What is the value of capacitance of a capacitor?
The generalised equation for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as: C = ε(A/d) where ε represents the absolute permittivity of the dielectric material being used. The dielectric constant, εo also known as the “permittivity of free space” has the value of the constant 8.84 x 10-12 Farads per metre.
