A 470 μf capacitor, with a plate separation of 1mm (with air as the insulator) is fully charged using a 60 V battery. A dielectric material (an insulator) with K= 4 is inserted between the plates while it remains connected to the battery. Calculate: a) the effective area of the plates of the capacitor b) the charge on the capacitor both before and after the insertion of the dielectric
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
