Question

Which of the following is true regarding the relative permittivity of the dielectric used for the capacitor?

   

The effect of the relative permittivity on the capacitor's ability to store charges depends on the dimensions of the capacitor.

   

The relative permittivity does not affect the ability of the capacitor in storing charges.

   

The higher the relative permittivity, the worse the capacitor is in storing charges.

   

The higher the relative permittivity, the better the capacitor is in storing charges.
