A battery connected to a capasitor in order to setup a potential difference across the plates. While the battery remains connected, a dielectric is inserted between the plates of the capasitor. Which of the following statements corcerning the capacitor with the dielectric is false? a) The potential difference across the plates of the capacitor is the same as before. b) The amount of charge on the plates has increased c) The capacitance of the capacitor has increased d) The net electric field between the plates has increased e) The capacitor stores more energy.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
