Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charges. When the space between the plates is evacuated, the electric field is E=3.20105V/m. When the space is filled with dielectric, the electric field isE=2.50105V/m E = 2.50 * 105 V>m. (a) What is the charge density on each surface of the dielectric? (b) What is the dielectric constant?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The charge density on each surface of the dielectric is 0.620渭颁/m2

(b) The dielectric constant is 1.28

Step by step solution

01

The formula of the charge density on the surface and plates and dielectric constant

I=(11K)____________1

whereI is the charge density on the dielectric material,role="math" localid="1664257274567" is the surface charge density and K is the factor by which potential difference between the plates decreases.

K=EoE____________2

whererole="math" localid="1664257303665" Eo is the electric field of the vacuum and E is the electric field of the dielectric

=oEo____________3

whereo is the universal constant equal to 8.85410-12C2/Nm2

02

Calculate the surface charge density on the dielectric

(a)

We are given that

the electric field between the two plates Eo=3.20105V/m

the electric field with a dielectric material is E=2.50105V/m

using equation (2)

the electric field between the plates

K=EoE=3.20105V/m2.50105V/m=1.28

using equation (3)

the charge densityon each surface of the dielectric

=oEo=8.85410-12C2/Nm23.20105V/m=2.83310-6C/m2

using the equation (1)

the charge densityon the dielectric material

I=1-1K=2.83310-6C/m21-11.28=0.62010-6C/m2=0.620渭颁/m2

Hence, the charge density on each surface of the dielectric is 0.620渭颁/m2

03

Calculate the dielectric constant

(b)

using equation (2)

the dielectric constant

K=EoE=3.20105V/m2.50105V/m=1.28

Hence, the dielectric constant is 1.28

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.
