17.8 Dielectrics
An insulating material placed between plates of a capacitor that increases the capacitance: C = κCo
The polarization of the dielectric will cause an decrease in the electric field.
Application: measure humidity in air

17.9 Storage of Electric Energy
Work done to move Δq through V is ΔW= VΔq
Total work = ½QV
PE stored = ½QV = ½CV2 = Q2/2C
The energy is stored in the electric field between the plates with a density of ½ εoE2.
