Dielectric Constant Of Water

Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.

Question

True or false?

d) The energy in a capacitor can be considered stored in the electric field created between the
plates as the capacitor is charged.
e) When a dielectric is inserted between the plates, the charge remains the same, but the
potential difference decreases, and the capacitance increases.
