What is the result of changing the dielectric in a capacitor to a dielectric with a larger dielectric constant?

A larger dielectric constant increases the capacitance of a capacitor. Since charge and potential difference are related by Q = CV, at the same potential difference a larger capacitance means the capacitor stores more charge. Therefore, the correct choice is D, “The capacitor can store more charge at a given potential difference.”
