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.



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?()







Can a metal be used as a medium for dielectric?


If polarization is unit and Ex = 10 unit then find magnitude electric field.

Assertion: The dipoles in a dielectric are not completely aligned in a weak external electric field.
Reason: Thermal energy tends to de-align them.
