17.8 Dielectrics
• Example
2) A 6.2 cm by 2.2 cm parallel plate capacitor
has the plates separated by a distance of 2.0 mm.
• (a) When of charge is placed on this capacitor, what is
the electric field between the plates? (b) If a dielectric
with dielectric constant of 5.5 is placed between the
plates while the charge on the capacitor stays the same,
what is the electric field in the dielectric?

17.9 Storage of Electric Energy
•Proof)
The energy stored is equal to the work done to
charge the capacitor.
• From the definition of capacitance,
• Now the battery transfers a little more charge Δqi from
one plate to the other, increasing the electric potential
energy.
• The increase in energy is:
• The total energy U stored in the capacitor is the sum
of all the electric potential energy increases
31
17.9 Storage of Electric Energy
•Proof)
The energy stored is equal to the work done to
charge the capacitor.
• The energy increase is equal to the area of a rectangle
of height and width .
• Energy stored in a capacitor:

17.9 Storage of Electric Energy
• Example
3) A certain capacitor stores 450 J of energy
when it holds C of charge.
• What is (a) the capacitance of this capacitor and
• (b) the potential difference across the plates?
