(a)Explain qualitatively why the capacitance of a capacitor increases when a dielectric is inserted inside. (b) A parallel plate capacitor has plate dimensions of 2 cm by 3 cm, separated by 1 mm and filled with a porcelain dielectric. i.Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. ii. What is the maximum voltage that can be applied across the capacitor?
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.
