Most capacitors have a non-conducting material, or dielectric, between their conducting plates. When we insert an uncharged sheet of dielectric between the plates, experiments show that the potential difference decreases to a smaller value V (we did this experiment last class!). When the space between plates is completely filled by the dielectric, the ratio is called dielectric constant.
