Verified
In a capacitor, the voltage difference between the plates controls the _____.
A) area of the plates
B) thickness of the dielectric
C) amount of dielectric stress
D) amount of current flow through the capacitor
Dielectric Stress
The electric stress or field strength within an insulating material, which can lead to breakdown if it exceeds the material's dielectric strength.
Voltage Difference
The difference in electric potential between two points in an electric circuit, driving the flow of current.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The voltage difference between the plates of a capacitor influences the electric field strength across the dielectric, which in turn affects the amount of dielectric stress. Higher voltage can lead to greater stress on the dielectric material.
