, Dielectrics in capacitors serve three purposes:
1. to keep the conducting plates from coming in contact, allowing for smaller
plate separations and therefore higher capacitances;
2. to increase the effective capacitance by reducing the electric field strength,
which means you get the same charge at a lower voltage; and
3. to reduce the possibility of shorting out by sparking (more formally known as
dielectric breakdown) during operation at high voltage.
