Deduce the expression for the electrostatic energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C and having charge Q. How will the The electric field inside the capacitor be affected when it is completely filled with a dielectric meterial of dielectric constant k?

Answer»

Solution :When the capacitor is filled COMPLETELY with a dielectric material of dielectric constant k, then capacitance BECOMES, C' = kC.
Changed POTENTIAL difference,
`V' = (Q)/(C')""[:. Q = " constant "]`
`= (Q)/(kC)= (V)/(k)`
Changed electric field,
`E' = (V')/(d)= (V)/(kd)= (E)/(k)`
The FINAL electric field will be `(1)/(k)` times of its previous value.
