Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance


   
 
Effect of Dielectric on Capacitance
Capacitance of Parallel Plate with a Dielectric Slab
 
 
When a dielectric slab tdue to polarisation). So,
 
V = E0(d - t) + Et
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Clearly: C>Co
 
This is expected because introduction of dielectric slab reduces the electric field and hence potential difference between the plates. Since, charge on capacitor plates is same, capacitance increases.
