Boundary conditions on dielectrics
Conductors and Dielectrics
• Polarization
– Static alignment of charge in material
– Charge aligns when voltage applied, moves no further
– Charge proportional to voltage
• Conduction
– Continuous motion of charge through material
– Enters one side, exits another
– Current proportional to voltage
• Real-world materials
– Plastics, ceramics, glasses -> dielectrics (maybe some conductivity)
– Metals -> conductors, semiconductors, superconductors
– Cement, Biosystems -> Both (water high dielectric, salt conductivity)

Energy Band Structure in Three Material Types
Discrete quantum states broaden into energy bands in condensed materials with overlapping potentials
•
Valence band – outermost filled band
•
Conduction band – higher energy unfilled band
Band structure determines type of material
a)
Insulators show large energy gaps, requiring large amounts of energy to lift electrons into the conduction
band. When this occurs, the dielectric breaks down.
b)
Conductors exhibit no energy gap between valence and conduction bands so electrons move freely
c)
Semiconductors have a relatively small energy gap, so modest amounts of energy (applied through heat,
light,or an electric field) may lift electrons from valence to conduction bands.
Ohm’s Law (microscopic form)
Free electrons are accelerated by an electric field. The applied force on an electron of charge Q = -e is
𝐚=
−𝑒𝐄
𝑚
But in reality the electrons are constantly bumping into things (like a terminal velocity) so they attain an
equilibrium or drift velocity:
where e is the electron mobility, expressed in units of m2/V-s. The drift velocity is used in the current density
through:

Boundary conditions for conductors
• No electric field in interior
– Otherwise charges repel to the surface
• No tangential electric field at surface
– 𝐸𝑡 = 0
– Otherwise charges redistribute along surface
• Normal electric field at surface

– Displacement Normal equals Charge Density

Method of Images
The Theorem of Uniqueness states that if we are given a configuration of charges and
boundary conditions, there will exist only one potential and electric field solution.
In the electric dipole, the surface along the plane of symmetry is an equipotential with V = 0.
The same is true if a grounded conducting plane is located there.
So the boundary conditions and charges are identical in the upper half spaces of both configurations
(not in the lower half).
In effect, the positive point charge images across the conducting plane, allowing the conductor to be
replaced by the image. The field and potential distribution in the upper half space is now found much
more easily!
Forms of Image Charges
Each charge in a given configuration will have its own image
Example of the Image Method
Want to find surface charge density on conducting plane at the point (2,5,0). A 30-nC line of charge
lies parallel to the y axis at x=0, z = 3.
First step is to replace conducting plane with image line of charge -30 nC at z = -3.

Dielectrics

•
Material has random oriented dipoles
Applied field aligns dipoles (negative at (+) terminal, positive at (-)
terminal
Effect is to cancel applied field, lower voltage
OR, increase charge to maintain voltage
Either increases capacitance C= Q/V
Review Dipole Moment
• Define dipole moment
𝒑 = 𝑄𝒅
• Potential for dipole
• Written in terms of dipole
moment and position
• Dipole moment determines “strength” of polar molecule
amount of charge (Q) and offset (d) of charge
Polarization as sum of dipole moments
(per volume)
Introducing an electric field may increase the charge separation in each dipole, and possibly re-orient dipoles so that
there is some aggregate alignment, as shown here. The effect is small, and is greatly exaggerated here!
E
The effect is to increase P.

Electric Susceptibility and the Dielectric Constant
A stronger electric field results in a larger polarization in the medium. In a linear medium, the relation
between P and E is linear, and is given by:
where e is the electric susceptibility of the medium.
We may now write:
where the dielectric constant, or relative permittivity is defined as:
Leading to the overall permittivity of the medium:
where
Isotropic vs. Anisotropic Media
In an isotropic medium, the dielectric constant is invariant with direction of the applied electric field.
This is not the case in an anisotropic medium (usually a crystal) in which the dielectric constant will vary
as the electric field is rotated in certain directions. In this case, the electric flux density vector components
must be evaluated separately through the dielectric tensor. The relation can be expressed in the form:
