8.5: Capacitor with a Dielectric
This equation tells us that the capacitance (C_0) of an empty (vacuum) capacitor can be increased by a factor of (kappa) when we insert a dielectric material to completely fill the space between its plates. Note that Equation ref{eq1} can also be used for an empty capacitor by setting (kappa = 1). In other words, we can say that the ...
