Suppose you have enough linear dielectric material, of dielectric constant ∈rto half-fill a parallel-plate capacitor (Fig. 4.25). By what fraction is the capacitance increased when you distribute the material as in Fig. 4.25(a)? How about Fig. 4.25(b)? For a given potential difference V between the plates, find E, D, and P , in each region, and the free and bound charge on all surfaces, for both cases.

03

Step 3:Determine thevalue of distribute material, electric field, polarization material and free and bound charges on the lower and upper side.

Draw the circuit diagram of figure 1 dielectric material of parallel plat capacitor.

Fig.1

Observe the first image. We shall first obtain the free charge density. To be on a greater potential, choose the bottom plate. I won't emphasise the vectorial nature of the vector quantities because they will all point in the z-direction.

D=εE=σf

Determine the output voltage between the plates.

V0=-∫4δ0Edx=∫04δDcdx=∫04δσfε0dx=∫0δσfε0dx+∫δ3δσfεdx+∫3δ4δσfε

Solve further as

V0=σfε0δ+2δεr+δ=2δσfε0εr+1εrσf=ε0εrεr+1V02δ

Determine the value of distribute material.

Substitute ε0εrεr+1V02δ for σfinto equation (1).

D=σf=ε0εrεr+1V02δ

Therefore, the value of distribute material is D=σf=ε0εrεr+1V02δ.

Determine the electric field of material and air.

Substitute ε0εrεr+1V02δ for D into equation (2).

Ematerial=ε0εrεr+1V02δε0εr=1εr+1V02δ

Determine the electric field of air.

Substitute ε0εrεr+1V02δ for D into equation (3).

Eair=ε0εrεr+1V02δε0=εrε0+1V02δ

Determine the polarization material.

Substitute 1εr+1V02δ for Ematerial into equation (4).

P=ε0εr-1εr+1V02δ

Determine the free and negative bound charges on the lower side of the dielectric medium.

Substitute -ε0εr-1εr+1V02δfor -Pinto equation (5).

σb,lower=-ε0εr-1εr+1V02δ

Determine the free and positive bound charges on the upper side of the dielectric medium.

Substitute -ε0εr-1εr+1V02δfor P into equation (6).

σb,upper=ε0εr-1εr+1V02δ

Therefore, the value of free and bound charges on the lower and upper side is σb,lower=-ε0εr-1εr+1V02δandσb,upper=ε0εr-1εr+1V02δ

Determine the quotient factor of the two capacitances η is:

localid="1658912501962" η=C'C

Here, C is the capacitance with the dielectric, and C is capacitance without the dielectric.

localid="1658912510561" η=σfAV0ε0A4δ=4δV0ε0ε0εrεr+1V02δ=2εrεr+1

Draw the circuit diagram of figure 2 dielectric material of parallel plat capacitor.

Fig.2

Now look at the second image. Once more, the voltage between the plates equals the integral of the electric field.

V0=-∫δ0Edx=∫0δDεdx=∫0δσfεdx

The two integrals have to be the same whether going trough material or air, so the free charge densities will not be the same:

σf,material=ε0εrV0δ

And

σf,air=ε0V0δ

Determine the distribute materialof second region.

Substitute ε0εrV0δfor σf,materialinto equation (1).

Dmaterial=σf,material=ε0V0δ

Determine the distribute airof second region

Substitute ε0εrV0δ forσf,air into equation (1).

Dair=σf,air=ε0V0δ

Determine the electric field of second region is same both in material. .

Substitute V0for D and δfor εinto equation (3).

E=Dε=V0δ

Determine the polarization material of second region.

SubstituteEV0δfor E into equation (4).

P=ε0εr-1EV0δ

Determine the free and positive bound charges on the upper side of the dielectric medium.

Substitute -ε0εr-1EV0δfor -P into equation (6).

σb,lower=-ε0εr-1EV0δ

Determine the free and positive bound charges on the upper side of the dielectric medium.

Substituteε0εr-1EV0δ for P into equation (6).

σb,upper=ε0εr-1EV0δ

Therefore, the value of free and bound charges on the lower and upper side of second region is σb,lower=-ε0εr-1EV0δand σb,upper=ε0εr-1EV0δ

The two capacitances ratio, comes last. This configuration really consists of parallel connections of capacitors operating at the same voltage. Thus:

C'=Cmaterial+Cair

Here, C is the capacitance with the dielectric,Cmaterialis capacitance of material and Cairis capacitance of air.

Substitute QleftV0 for Cmaterialand QrightV0for Cair into above equation.

C'=QleftV0+QrightV0=σf,materialA2σf,materialδε0εr+σf,airA2σf,airδε0=ε0εrA2δ+ε0A2δ=ε0A2δ1+εr

Determine the quotient factor of the two capacitances η is:

η=C'C

Here, C is the capacitance with the dielectric, and C is capacitance without the dielectric.

Substitute ε0A2δ1+εrfor C and ε0Aδ for C into above equationη.

η=ε0A2δ1+εrε0A2δ=121+εr=121+εr

A point charge qis imbedded at the center of a sphere of linear dielectric material (with susceptibilityχeand radius R).Find the electric field, the polarization, and the bound charge densities,ÒÏb and σb.What is the total bound charge on the surface? Where is the compensating negative bound charge located?

At the interface between one linear dielectric and another, the electric field lines bend (see Fig. 4.34). Show that

³Ù²¹²Ôθ2/³Ù²¹²Ôθ1=ε2/ε1

Assuming there is no free charge at the boundary. [Comment: Eq. 4.68 is reminiscent of Snell's law in optics. Would a convex "lens" of dielectric material tend to "focus’’ or "defocus," the electric field?]

According to quantum mechanics, the electron cloud for a hydrogen

atom in the ground state has a charge density

ÒÏ(r)=qττ²¹3e-2ra

where qis the charge of the electron and ais the Bohr radius. Find the atomic

polarizability of such an atom. [Hint:First calculate the electric field of the electron cloud, Ee(r) then expand the exponential, assuming r≪a.

The space between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor (Fig. 4.24)

is filled with two slabs of linear dielectric material. Each slab has thickness a, sothe total distance between the plates is 2a. Slab 1 has a dielectric constant of 2, andslab 2 has a dielectric constant of 1.5. The free charge density on the top plate is aand on the bottom plate-σ.

(a) Find the electric displacement Dineach slab.

(b) Find the electric field E in each slab.

(c) Find the polarization P in each slab.

(d) Find the potential difference between the plates.

(e) Find the location and amount of all bound charge.

(f) Now that you know all the charge (free and bound), recalculate the field in eachslab, and confirm your answer to (b).

In a linear dielectric, the polarization is proportional to the field:

P=∈0χeE.If the material consists of atoms (or nonpolar molecules), the induced

dipole moment of each one is likewise proportional to the fieldp=αE . Question:

What is the relation between the atomic polarizabilityand the susceptibility χe? Since P (the dipole moment per unit volume) is P (the dipole moment per atom)times N (the number of atoms per unit volume),P=Np=NαE, one's first inclination is to say that

χe=Nα∈0

And in fact this is not far off, if the density is low. But closer inspection reveals

a subtle problem, for the field E in Eq. 4.30 is the total macroscopicfield in the

medium, whereas the field in Eq. 4.1 is due to everything except the particular atom under consideration (polarizability was defined for an isolated atom subject to a specified external field); call this field Eelse· Imagine that the space allotted to each atom is a sphere of radius R ,and show that

E=1-Nα3∈0Eelse

Use this to conclude that

χe=Nα/∈01-Nα/3∈0

Or

α=3∈0N∈r-1∈r+2

Equation 4.72 is known as the Clausius-Mossottiformula, or, in its application to

optics, the Lorentz-Lorenzequation.
