Dielectric properties of materials

 Consider a parallel plate capacitor. If the vacuum is the dielectric medium inside,
some capacitance is found.
 However, when the vacuum is replaced by other nonconducting material, the
capacitance increases. i.e., it increases the charge storage capability

What is the mechanism?


Define Relative permittivity

When charge is Qo then capacitance is Co, when charge is Q then


capacitance is C, the relative permittivity is defined as,

The increase in the stored charge is due to the polarization of


the dielectric by the applied field.
What is Dipole moment?

An electrical dipole moment is simply a separation between a negative and positive charge
of equal magnitude Q as shown in Figure. If a is the vector from the negative to the positive
charge, the electric dipole moment is defined as a vector by,
P=Qa
What is polarization vector?

Only Medium Only Medium


Medium inside capacitor

The polarization of a medium can be represented by a quantity called polarization P, which is


defined as the total dipole moment per unit volume

Where, p1, p2, …pN are the dipole moments induced at N molecules in the volume.
Q: Derive the relative permittivity for ideal case.1/2
