Wow! such an easy way to explain what permittivity is! I couldn't find an easy explanation anywhere! As soon as you showed the flow chart with the word 'resistance'. It all made sense! Thanks!
That was helpful. Thank you sir. I've read a lot of electric smartass wannabe's articles that explained permittivity and none of them can explain it in basic form. Thanks a lot
Oml Mr. Anderson I've been watching all your physics, chemistry and biology videos and honestly yr vids r the most helpful and best so far... thank you so much for helping... love from India
Very nice and wonderful video. It very informative and concise to understand the concept very clearly. Thanks a lot. Please upload more videos like this.
Thank you so much for this video. you clear my all doubts in a very easy manner. The way you represent the opposite electric field of di electric is much more tha Awesome!! Thank you again
If 'permittivity' is a measure of a medium's tendency to RESIST the establishment of an electric field within it, why was it ever called 'permittivity' in the first place which suggests that something is being 'permitted' or allowed to happen? Its no wonder that scientific terminology is so confusing!!
Dave Humphreys Our teacher told us to think over it and that Science don't just name things randomly . He said that there was a definite reason for it but didn't tell what it was .
Dave Humphreys This was my first thought too so I sat here and thought about it. I think maybe a couple of reasons and I think of it as a permitivity 'level' or 'raiting' (like wire gauges), rather than 'how well it lets electrons pass (the latter would lead you to believe that higher numbers = better conductivity).' When they discovered permitivity they probably hadn't tested all materials, so they may have said 'let's just imagine 0 is a perfect material that has perfect permitivity and higher numbers would be higher resistance.' Personally I think it should be called reluctance or impedence but maybe those were taken?
The relative permittitivity is a ratio of the material's permitivitty in relationship to the permittivity of vacuum. That's why vaccum's 1. This also means it has no units! e_r = 1, for vacuum, not 1 F/m.
4:02 Could anyone explain why does the electric permittivity increase resistance while it also increases the capacitance? I didn't take ap physics 2 but have to know this concept for the subject test
Not so sure either but, I think without any dielectic medium the charges accumulated at the two plates would create Electric field which would make them to loose energy And adding those mediums with "resistance" would allow some of those fields to be cancelled i.e., leass field and thus more chage would be stored in a capacitor
The thing is that capacitance is equal to Q/V, where V is the voltage (difference of potential). Meanwhile, if the electric field is constant (like in this case) V=E*d, where d is the gap between the plates. Because the dielectric increases resistance, it reduces the electric field and so E*d becomes smaller, so V becomes smaller and the quotient Q/V increases. Hence, the capacitance increases.
Looking at the examples starting around 3:40, what would you expect would happen if you charged the cap with a glass dielectric (@3:52) and then disconnected the power? Now remove the glass, what is the charge on the cap? Take the glass dielectric plate you removed, and place it between the plates of a second uncharged capacitor. Does it charge? What does the result of the second capacitor becoming charged almost to the same value of the first do to your understanding of what was presented in this video? What is really happening?
I would like to clarify that permittivity of free space is *not* referred to as the "dielectric constant". The dielectric constant, and permittivity of free space are two different things. You could say, however, that the relative permittivity is known as the dielectric constant. Therefore, the relative permittivity or dielectric constant of a vacuum is 1 F/m. Where as the permittivity of free space is 8.854e-12 F/m.
Also note permittivity changes with freq, value at dc-10kHz isn't the same as the value at 300MHz. Dielectric constant typically refers to the permittivity in those low freqs/DC
It's amazing kids are learning this in high school now. I didn't even have the option to take classes of of this nature when I was in high school 10 years ago.
Gauss's law shows that the amount of flux intersecting a spherical Gaussian surface is: Eo(4πr²)=Φ=Q(inside)/εo. Therefore: Q(ins)/Eo·A=εo. This is the charge density per electric field, or the charge per flux line intersection with the Gaussian surface. It gives an indication of how much charge is permitted on a surface. The higher the permittivity value, the more charge is permitted on surfaces but this will lower the net electric field Enet _inside the dielectric_ (vector sum of the free space plate fields Eo & the induced dielectric fields Ei) as the fields cancel out more if there are more _induced_ charges of opposite sign on surfaces inside facing the outer surface _plates_ , which is what happens in a capacitor with a dielectric. A dielectric lowers the net electric field Enet=Eo↓ + Ei↑=Eo↓+(-bEo↓)=(1-b)Eo↓=Eo↓/κ, by a factor sometimes called _the dielectric constant_ κ. If the charged plates remain the same, as a dielectric is inserted between them, the new permittivity would be: Q/(Eo/κ)A=κ·εo=ε, Where Q/A=σ=charge density on Gaussian surface with area A.
Mr. Anderson if a matter has the ability to resist the electric field and vaccum has the ability too which is constant so it is proving existence of ether as medium in space

sir can you help n fundamental charges each of charge q are to be distributed as two point charges separated by a fixed distance , then maximum to minimum force bears a ratio(n is even and greater than 2
awesome vid. quick question - why do the cap plates have to be in close proximity to eachother? why doesn't a capacitor work if the distance between the plates is massive? i'm guessing the further away the plates, the higher the permittivity of the electrical field? or does the permittivity value not work in that way? Cheers!!
This is probably stupid, but at 4:20 you say that the dielectric creates a 'resistive field' to appose the electric field, but how does that increase the permittivity because then surely the electrons have nothing to be attracted to if there is no overall force there? Because before they would be attracted to one side of the plates, which in turn repels the electrons on the other side. I don't know if that makes sense, I'm only an a level student so I don't think my understanding is quite right? Thanks for any help :)
Why is charge increasing after adding dielectric? Actually as dielectric is forming electric field in opposite direction, doesnt electrons of dielectric flow towards positive side of capacitor and decrease the charge?
Can you explain why permittivity is effected by frequency in water? Relative permittivity is 80-81 for RF spectrum but 1.77 for visible light spectrum. I can't understand that phenomenon. I thought it was a material constant.
I could be wrong but I think because the force produced is from a point or spherical charge is the same in all directions, it is spread evenly over the surface of an imaginary sphere. Where surface area = 4×pi×r^2, the force is inverse to that, hence 1/4×pi×r^2 (The r^2 is in the other term).
The guy confuses relative permittivity or dielectric constant with permittivity itself. The relative permittivity of free space (vacuum) and most gases is 1 without F/m "unit-less". Typical permittivity values are in order of pF/m.
Wow! such an easy way to explain what permittivity is! I couldn't find an easy explanation anywhere! As soon as you showed the flow chart with the word 'resistance'. It all made sense! Thanks!

I think of it as how much is permitted negatively, as negativity, permit-ivity, and remember that so it’s how much is negatively permitted

very useful information got in a few minutes.
Gauss's law shows that the amount of flux intersecting a spherical Gaussian surface is: Eo(4πr²)=Φ=Q(inside)/εo.
Therefore: Q(ins)/Eo·A=εo.
This is the charge density per electric field, or the charge per flux line intersection with the Gaussian surface.
It gives an indication of how much charge is permitted on a surface.
The higher the permittivity value, the more charge is permitted on surfaces but this will lower the net electric field Enet _inside the dielectric_ (vector sum of the free space plate fields Eo & the induced dielectric fields Ei) as the fields cancel out more if there are more _induced_ charges of opposite sign on surfaces inside facing the outer surface _plates_ , which is what happens in a capacitor with a dielectric.
A dielectric lowers the net electric field
Enet=Eo↓ + Ei↑=Eo↓+(-bEo↓)=(1-b)Eo↓=Eo↓/κ,
by a factor sometimes called
_the dielectric constant_ κ.
If the charged plates remain the same, as a
dielectric is inserted between them,
the new permittivity would be:
Q/(Eo/κ)A=κ·εo=ε,
Where Q/A=σ=charge density on
Gaussian surface with area A.
at 2:32 there is a little mistake, the relative permittivity is a ratio, so it shouldn't be 1 F/m but just 1.
Very helpful and simple
