Effect of dielectric on Capacitance
Effect of dielectric on Capacitance
When a dielectric is present between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor fully occupying the region, the dielectric is polarized by the electric field. The surface charge densities are considered as σ p and-σ p.
Dielectric constant of a substance is the factor by which the capacitance increases from its vacuum value, when the dielectric is fully inserted in between the plates of the capacitor
