A parallel- plate capacitor with a dielectric. The electric field is reduced between the plates because the dielectric material is polarized, producing an opposing field. When there is a dielectric, the potential is also reduced because potential is inversely proportional to dielectric V=VK where K is dielectric constant.

Q2
Assertion :A parallel plate capacitor is first charged and then distance between the plates is increased. In this process electric field between the plates remains the same, while potential difference gets decreased. Reason: E=qAε0 and V=qAdε0. Since, q remains same, E will remain same while V will decrease.
