A dielectric is an insulator between the plates of a capacitor. They allow us to build the plates closer together, without allowing them to short together, thereby increasing capacitance.

Capacitors are named after their dielectrics. So, an 'air capacitor' uses air as its dielectric, a 'mica capacitor' uses mica as its dielectric, and so on. There are lots of different dielectric used to separate the plates of a capacitor, each with different permittivities and dielectric strengths. As the perfect dielectric (i.e. one with both a very high permittivity and a very high dielectric strength) doesn't occur, the choice of dielectric is always a compromise between it permittivity and dielectric strength.
A mica capacitor is simply one that uses the mineral mica as the dielectric or insulator between plates.
Strontium Titanate has a dielectric constant of 233. TDK in Japan makes Ultra-high Voltage Ceramic Capacitors using this as the dielectric material. Compared to distilled water at 76.7 - 78.2 (lowers as temperature rises). Types of glass can vary between 4 and 10.
1. The capacitor has Lead resistance in series with the capacitor2. Since most capacitor use Dielectric and they have a leakage resistance and it is parallel to the Ideal Capacitor.
Electrolytic capacitors use aluminium as a dielectric.
The type of dielectric most often used in variable capacitors is air. Also, trimmer capacitors often use mica.
capacitors are classified on the basis of dielectric material used inside it. For example the electrolytic capacitor consist electrolyte as dielectric mica capacitor consist mica as dielectric between plates and ceramic capacitor consist ceramic as dielectric.

Capacitors consist of a insulating material, called a 'dielectric', sandwiched between two conductors, called 'plates'. Capacitors are devices that store energy(not charge!); this energy is stored in the electric field set up within the dielectric between the two plates when they are connected to an external potential difference.

Inserting a dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor increases the capacitance of the capacitor. The dielectric reduces the electric field between the plates and allows for more charge to be stored. This results in an increase in the amount of electric potential energy that can be stored in the capacitor.

A capacitor, in its simplest form, is two conductive plates separated by a dielectric.
