Net effect REDUCES the field

Non-Polar Material
Effective Charge is
REDUCED
We can measure the C of a
capacitor (later)
C0 = Vacuum or air Value
C = With dielectric in place
C=kC0
(we show this later)
How to Check This
C0
V
V0
Charge to V0 and then disconnect from
The battery.
Connect the two together
C0 will lose some charge to the capacitor with the dielectric.
We can measure V with a voltmeter (later).
Checking the idea..

Note: When two Capacitors are the same (No dielectric), then V=V0/2.
Messing with
Capacitors
+
The battery means that the
potential difference across
the capacitor remains constant.

For this case, we insert the
dielectric but hold the voltage
constant,

q=CV

Remember – We hold V
constant with the battery.

THE EXTRA CHARGE
COMES FROM THE
BATTERY!
Another Case
We charge the capacitor to a voltage
V0.
We disconnect the battery.
We slip a dielectric in between the
two plates.
We look at the voltage across the
capacitor to see what happens.

q0 =C0Vo

-
When the dielectric is inserted, no charge
is added so the charge must be the same.
