Week 6:4.4 Linear Dieclectrics (4.4.1, Susceptibility, Permitivity, Dieclectric constant) Example 4.5, Example 4.6, )

Learning Outcomes:

After successful completion of this week students will  be able to

  • understand Electric Susceptibility, Permitivity, Dieclectric constant
  • how to calculculate electric potential, polarization inside the dielectrics
  • Effect of dielectric on the capacitance of a capacitor

Lesson Plan:

Lecture 1: 

Learning (a) Linear Dieclectrics (b) Susceptibility, (c) Permitivity (d) Dieclectric constant

Lecture 2:

  • A metal sphere of radius a carries a charge Q  It is surrounded, out to radius b, by linear dielectric material of some permittivity . Find the potential at the center (relative to infinity).

Lecture 3:
