5.16: Inserting a Dielectric into a Capacitor
Before introduction of the dielectric, the potential of the upper plate was (V_1=sigma d/epsilon_0). After introduction of the dielectric, it is a little less, namely (V_1=sigma d/epsilon). Why is the electric field (E) less after introduction of the dielectric material? It is because the dielectric material becomes polarized.
