Michael Faraay (1791-1867) A great experimentalist an populariser of science. He is most famous for his work on magnetic inuction, but also i funamental work relate to electrolysis He worke at the Royal Institution (one of the first scientific research institutes) an establishe the Christmas Lectures on science for young people which are still running. Lecture 8 1 Dielectrics ++ + ++ + +++ E eff =ε E - --- - - -- - - If we place an insulating material between the plates of our capacitor, the effective fiel increases*. Eeff = ε E Where ε is a imensionless property of the material calle the ielectric constant or relative permittivity. ε is usually > 1 e.g. for glass ε = 8 εε A This increases the capacitance: C = F * This is because the electron clou roun each atom in the material is istorte by the applie fiel an this generates an aitional fiel (this is calle the isplacement fiel, D) Lecture 8 11 5
