Mica has highest dielectric strength among all materials. Dielectric strength is directly prorpotional to permittivity.

So, highest dielectric strength means it can strore high amount of energy.

Permittivity-: ability of a substance to store electrical energy in an electric field.

Mica-:they have great high-frequency properties due to low resistive and inductive losses, and are very stable over time.

@Kavya Bharti.

To store energy in an electric form (charge).

Is it produce only the electric field? Right.

It does not produce magnetic field right.

Any material occurring mineral that based on a collection of silicate minerals and composed of varying amounts of potassium iron, aluminium, magnesium and water is mica in capacitor it acts as an insulator.
