Capacitors Q D A capacitor is a device that is capable of storing electric charges and thus electric potential energy. => charging Its purpose is to release them later in a controlled way. => discharging Capacitors are used in vast majority of electrical and electronic devices. +Q -Q Typically made of two conductors and, when charged, each holds equal and opposite charges.

Polar and Nonpolar Dielectrics Polar dielectrics: dielectric material whose molecules have permanent electric dipole moments, such as water. Eext = 0: the orientations of the permanent electric dipoles are distributed randomly, so the net dipole moment of the material is zero. Eext  0 : the molecular dipoles try to align themselves with the field against random thermal motion, resulting in a net dipole moment. Nonpolar dielectrics: molecules with no permanent electric dipole moments. Eext  0 :  charges separate, induced dipole moment emerges. Show the first demo:5A-31

Dielectrics between Capacitor Plates + Q - Q free charges Electric field E between plates can be calculated from Q – q. neutral -q +q The presence of a dielectric weakens the electric field, therefore weaken the potential drop between the plates, and leads to a large capacitance.

Inserting Dielectrics (= Insulator) Inserting a dielectric between the plates of a capacitor increases capacitance Q=CV holds more charges at fixed V Dielectric constant  of a dielectric is the ratio of the capacitance when filled with it to that without it:  > 1 always (dimensionless) Material  air (1 atm) 1.00059 paper 3.7 pyrex 5.6 water (20C) 80.4 strontium titanate 310 Under the same Q, V = V0/k E = E0/k Show demo: 5A-30. Dielectric strength: breakdown field per unit length Breakdown potential determined by dielectric strength (Emax)
