4 · A dielectric is an insulating material that is polarized in an electric field, which can be inserted between the isolated conductors in a capacitor. That is, when an electric field is applied to a dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the insulating material shift slightly from their neutral equilibrium, creating a small electric ...

Thus the energy stored in the capacitor is (frac{1}{2}epsilon E^2). The volume of the dielectric (insulating) material between the plates is (Ad), and therefore we find the following expression for the energy stored per unit volume in a dielectric material in which there is an electric field: [dfrac{1}{2}epsilon E^2 ]
Artwork: A dielectric increases the capacitance of a capacitor by reducing the electric field between its plates, so reducing the potential (voltage) of each plate. That means you can store more charge on the plates at the same voltage. The electric field in this capacitor runs from the positive plate on the left to the negative plate on the right.

Dielectrics, polarization, and electric dipole moment
Orientational Polarization. Orientational polarization arises when there is a permanent dipole moment in the material. Materials such as HCl and H 2 O will have a net permanent dipole moment because the charge distributions of these molecules are skewed. For example, in a HCl molecule, the chlorine atom will be negatively charged and the …
Figure (PageIndex{5})(b) shows the electric field lines with a dielectric in place. Since the field lines end on charges in the dielectric, there are fewer of them going from one side of the capacitor to the other. So the electric field strength is less than if there were
