- The effect of the dielectric is to weaken the original field E0 by a factor of κ and
- When a dielectric is present, Gauss’ law may be generalized to
- where q is the free charge. Any induced surface charge is accounted for by including the dielectric constant κ inside the integral.
- 25-7 Dielectrics and Gauss’ Law Capacitor with a Dielectric
- no consideraton of induced charge! only free charge since ε0 → ε0κ
- Inserting a dielectric into a capacitor causes induced charge to appear on the faces of the dielectric and weakens the electric field between the plates.
