Abstract
In this report "Capacitance and dielectrics" you can find different
answers to some problems that are constantly presented, and with
which we are familiar. Through this experience, we will be able to
understand, understand and analyze the theory taught in the classes,
and in this way, relate it to the practices carried out in the laboratory.
On the other hand, thanks to this practice, we have carried out the
proposed objectives, such as establishing the relationship between
load, voltage and capacitance for a parallel plate capacitor.
Where:
σ: Surface charge density.
ε0: Permitivity of the medium in a vacuum.
The electric field is uniform and the
distance between the plates is d,
therefore, the potential difference between
the plates is:

Then the capacitance (C) of a capacitor in
the vacuum of parallel plates is: A dielectric offers the following
advantages:
