Tutorial + Assignment: 3

(Dielectrics)
Max Marks: 20 Due date : 30.01.2020 Dated: 20.01.2020
Problems T# are to be discussed during tutorial. Those marked with A# should
be submitted as assignment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T1. A sphere of homogeneous linear dielectric material is kept in an otherwise
uniform electric field ⃗E=E 0 z^ . Find the potential in the region outside the sphere
and calculate the field inside the dielectric regime.
T2. A free charge ‘+q’ is distributed uniformly on the inner surface of a dielectric
spherical shell with inner and outer radii as ‘a’ and ‘b’. Find D(r), E(r) and V(r) in the
regions: (i) r < a, (ii) a < r < b, and (iii) r > b.
T3. A point charge ‘+q’ is kept at the centre of a spherical shell of a dielectric with
1
dielectric constant ϵ (r )∝ , r being the distance from the centre. Find the volume
r
bound charge density inside the dielectric, and the potential inside and outside the
shell.
A1. Consider a dielectric, with dielectric constant ϵ r , filling all space and an
electric field ⃗E=E 0 z^ exists inside the dielectric. Now if a sphere of radius R is
removed from the dielectric, find the field inside and outside the spherical cavity.[5]
A2. A point dipole with dipole moment p is imbedded at the center of a sphere of
linear dielectric material (with radius R and dielectric constant ϵ r ). Find the
electric potential inside and outside the sphere. [5]
A3. The space between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is filled with two slabs
of linear dielectric material. Each slab has thickness a, so the total distance between
the plates is 2a. Slab 1 has a dielectric constant of 2, and slab 2 has a dielectric
constant of 1.5. The free charge density on the top plate is σ and on the bottom plate
7σ . Find the electric displacement D, el. field E and polarization P in each slab [5].
A4. A parallel plate capacitor with plate dimensions 4 cm x 4 cm, and plates
separated by a distance 1 cm is charged to acquire a potential difference of 5 volts.
Now a dielectric slab with dielectric constant of 2.0 and the dimensions of 4 cm x 4
cm is half inserted between the plates. What happens to the dielectric slab? Find the
force on the slab and deduce the capacitance as a function of time [5].
