Explain why the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor increases when a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates.

A dielectric slab is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. Its capacitance

A dielectric is inserted between the plates of an isolated fully-charged capacitor. The dielectric completely fills the space between the plates. The magnitude of electrostatic force on either metal plate decreases, as it was before the insertion of dielectric medium. Due to insertion of dielectric slab in an isolated parallel plate capacitor (the dielectric completely fills the space between the plates), the electrostatic potential energy of the capacitor decreases.
