2 Capacitor with Dielectric Most capacitors have a dielectric (insulating solid or liquid material) in the space between the conductors. This has several advantages: Physical separation of the conductors. Prevention of dielectric breakdown. Enhancement of capacitance. The dielectric is polarized by the electric field between the capacitor plates. 14/9/2015 [tsl124 1/13]

3 Parallel-Plate Capacitor with Dielectric (1) The polarization produces a bound charge on the surface of the dielectric. q f q f q f q b q b q f E 0 E The bound surface charge has the effect of reducing the electric field between the plates from E 0 to E. A: area of plates d: separation between plates ±q f : free charge on plate ±q b : bound charge on surface of dielectric E 0 : electric field in vacuum E: electric field in dielectric 14/9/2015 [tsl125 2/13]

4 Parallel-Plate Capacitor with Dielectric (2) Use Gauss law to determine the electric fields E 0 and E. q f q f q f q b q b q f E 0 E Field in vacuum: E 0 A = q f ǫ 0 E 0 = q f ǫ 0 A Field in dielectric: EA = q f q b ǫ 0 E = q f q b ǫ 0 A < E 0 Voltage: V 0 = E 0 d (vacuum), V = Ed = V 0 κ < V 0 (dielectric) Dielectric constant: κ E 0 E = q f q f q b > 1. Permittivity of dielectric: ǫ = κǫ 0. 14/9/2015 [tsl126 3/13]

5 Dielectric Materials Dielectrics increase the capacitance: C/C 0 = κ. The capacitor is discharged spontaneously across the dielectric if the electric field exceeds the value quoted as dielectric strength. 14/9/2015 [tsl138 4/13]

9 Lateral Force on Dielectric Consider two charged capacitors with dielectrics only halfway between the plates.
