REDISTRIBUTION OF CHARGES AND LOSS OF ENERGY:
When two charged conductors are joined together
through a conducting wire, charge begins to flow
from one conductor to another from higher potential
to lower potential
‘This flow of charge stops when they attain the same
potential. Due to flow of charge, loss of energy also
takes place in the form of heat through the
connecting wire,

CAPACITOR OR CONDENSER :

A capacitor is a device that stores electric energy or

@) A capacitor get's charged when a battery is
connected across the plates. Once capacitor get's
fully charged, flow of charge carriers stops in the
circuit and in this condition potential difference
across the plates of eapacitor is same as the potential
difference across the terminals of battery.

DIELECTRIC:
Dielectric are insulating (non-conducting) materials
which transmits electric effect without conducting
Diclectries are of two types
() Polar dietectries : A polar molecule has permanent
electric dipole moment (ji) in the absence of electric
field also. But a polar dielectric has net dipole moment
zero in the absence of electric field because polar
‘molecules are randomly oriented as shown in figure
Inthe presence of electric field polar molecules tends
to line up on the direction of electric field, and the
substance has finite dipole moment e.g. water,
Alcohol, CO, NH, HCI ete. are made of polar atoms!
molecules.
Q) Non polar dielectric : In non-polar molecules, Each
molecule has zero dipole moment in its normal state.
When electric field is applied, molecules becomes
induced electric dipole e.g. Ns, Op, Benzene,
Methane ete. are made of non-polar atoms/molecules.
In general, any non-conducting material can be called
‘as a dielectric but broadly non-conducting material
having non-polar molecules referred to as dielectric.
@) Polarization of a dielectric slab : It is the process
‘of inducing equal and opposite charges on the two
faces of the dielectric on the application of electric field
() __Electrig field between the plates in the presence of
dielectric medium is E’ = E~ E, where E = Main field,
E'= Induced field,
(i diclectric constant of dielectric medium is defined as
