Explain the behaviour of dielectrics in an external field.



The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor with air is When a dielectric material is inserted in the space between the plates, its capacity becomes .Calculate the permittivity of the material. What is the material?()

What is a capacitor? You know that the capacity of a parallel plate condenser is . What will be its new capacitance of the capacitor if a material of dielectric is inserted between the plates? Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor shown below.





A parallel plate capacitor of area , plate separation and capacitance is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants and as shown. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant is given by,


Those molecules in which the centre of gravity of positive nuclei and revolving electrons do not coincide are
