If the space between the plates of a capacitor is filled with dielectric medium , then capacitance of the capacitor with dielectric between its plates is
Cm =KC 0 where C 0 is the capacitance of the capacitor with air as dielectric and is the dielectric constant of the medium .
Since dielectric constant of the medium is always greater than 1(i.e. K>1) , therefore , there is no such material which when placed between the plates of a capacitor would reduce its capacitance .
