A vacuum parallel plate capacitor is charged. The field between the plates is 2 x 104 V/m. If the space between the plates is filled with a material having ∈r = 10, then the value of field in the dielectric will be

Q: A vacuum parallel plate capacitor is charged. The field between the plates is 2 x 104 V/m. If the space between the plates is filled with a material having ∈r = 10, then the value of field in the dielectric will be

D ∝ ∈ r E. The flux density is the same. Since ∈ r has become 10 times, E decreases by 10 times.

Question

Accepted Answer

D ∝ ∈_rE. The flux density is the same.

Since ∈_r has become 10 times, E decreases by 10 times.
