The simulation is for a charged capacitor that is NOT attached to a battery. This means that the charge Q on either plate cannot change; there’s nowhere for it to go. Use the definition of capacitance to explain what inserting the dielectric does to the capacitance C of the system.
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.
