When the water molecules are aligned in the direction of the electric field, it has minimum potential energy. The work done to rotate the dipole from θ = 0° to 90° is equal to the potential energy difference between these two configurations.
W = ΔU = U(90°) - U(0°)
From the equation U =−pE cosθ = −\(\hat p.\hat E\) ,
we write U = − pE cosθ, Next, we calculate the work done to rotate one water molecule from θ = 0° to 90°.
For one water molecule
W = - pE cos90o + pE cos0o = pE
W= 6.3 x 10-30 x 3 x 105 = 18.9 x 10-25J
For 1022 water molecules, the total work done is

In the given problem, since the potential depends only on x, we can use \(\vec { E } =\frac { dV }{ dx } \hat { i } \) (the other two terms \(\frac { \eth V }{ \eth y } \) and \(\frac { \eth V }{ \eth z } \) are zero)
From 0 to 1 cm, the slope is constant and so \(\frac { dV }{ dx } \) = 25V cm-1, So \(\vec { E } \)= -25V cm-1\(\hat { i } \)
From 1 to 4 cm, the potential is constant
V = 25 V. It implies that \(\frac { dV }{ dx } \) = 0, So \(\vec { E } \) = 0
From 4 to 5 cm, the slope \(\frac { dV }{ dx } \) = -25 V cm-1
So \(\vec { E } \) = + 25Vcm-1\(\hat { i } \)

The electrostatic force is a conservative force, the potential energy for the electron in nth orbit is
\(U_{n} =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{(+Z e)(-e)}{r_{n}}=-\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{Z^{2}}{r_{n}} \) \(\left[ \because r_n=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} h^{2} n^{2}}{\pi m Z e^{2}}\right]\)
\(U_{n} =-\frac{1}{4\varepsilon_{0}} -\frac{Z^{2} \mathrm{me}^{4}}{h^{2} n^{2}} \)
The kinetic energy of electron in nth orbit is
\(\mathrm{KE}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{n}}^{2}=\frac{\mathrm{Z}^{2} m \mathrm{e}^{4}}{8 \varepsilon_{0}^{2} \mathrm{~h}^{2} \mathrm{n}^{2}}\)
This implies that Un = -2KEn
Total energy of electron in the nth orbit is
\(E_{n}=K E_{n}+U_{n}=K E_{n}-2 K E_{n}=-K E_{n} \)
\(E_{n}=-\frac{Z^{2} m e^{4}}{8 \varepsilon_{0}^{2} h^{2} n^{2}} \)
For Hydrogen atom Z = 1
\(E_{n}=-\frac{m e^{4}}{8 \varepsilon_{0}^{2} h^{2} n^{2}} \text { joule }\)
n - principal quantum number
The negative sign indicates that the electron is bound to the nucleus.
Substituting the values of mass and charge of an electron (m and e), permittivity of free space \(\varepsilon^{0}\) and Planck's constant h and expressing in terms of (+(eV)), we get
\(E_{n}=-13.6\left(\frac{1}{n^{2}}\right) e V\)

(ii) For the second orbit (first excited state), the total energy of electron is E2 = -3.4 eV.
(iii) For the third orbit (second excited state), the total energy of electron is E3 = -1.51 eV and so on.

(iii) The rate of flow of energy crossing a unit area is known as the pointing vector for electromagnetic waves.
24.
The drift velocity is the average velocity acquired by the electrons inside the conductor when it is subjected to an electric field. The average time between successive collisions is called the mean free time denoted by \(\tau \). The acceleration \(\vec { a } \) experienced by the electron in an electric field \(\vec { E } \) is given by
\(\vec { a } =\cfrac { -e\vec { E } }{ m } \left( since\vec { F } =-e\vec { E } \right) \)
The drift velocity is given by
\({ \vec { V } }_{ d }=\vec { a } \tau \)
\({ \vec { V } }_{ d }=\cfrac { e\tau }{ m } \vec { E } \)
\({ \vec { V } }_{ d }=-\mu \vec { E } \)
Here \(\mu =\cfrac { e\tau }{ m } \) is the mobility of the electron and it is defined as the magnitude of the drift velocity per unit electric field \(\mu =\cfrac { \left| { \vec { v } }_{ d } \right| }{ \left| \vec { E } \right| } \)
25.
Energy stored in the capacitor
\(U=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { Cv }^{ 2 }\quad \quad ...(1)\)
This is rewritten as using \(C=\frac { { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }A }{ d } \& Ed=V\)
\(U=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( \frac { { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }A }{ d } \right) { (Ed })^{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }(Ad)\quad { E }^{ 2 }...(2)\)
where Ad = volume of the space between the capacitor plates. The energy stored per unit volume of space is defined as energy density \({ U }_{ E }=\frac { U }{ Volume } \) From equation (4),
We get
\({ u }_{ E }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ E }^{ 2 }\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad ...(3)\)
(iv) The energy density depends only on the electric field and not on the size of the plates of the capacitor.

28.
G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2kg-2
Mass of Earth mE = 5.9 x 1024 kg
Mass of Moon mm = 7.9 x 1022 kg
Gravitational force \(F_{g}=\frac{G m_{E} \times m_{M}}{r^{2}}\); Electro static force \(F_e=k\frac{q \times q}{r^2}\)
By equating the forces, \( k\frac{q \times q}{r^{2}}=G \cdot \frac{m_{E} \times m_{M}}{r^{2}} \)
\(\because k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \)
\( 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} =0.11 \times 10^{-9} \)
\(q =\sqrt{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} G m_{E} \cdot m_{M}} \) ....(1)
\(=\sqrt{0.11 \times 10^{-9} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 5.9 \times 10^{24} \times 7.9 \times 10^{22}}\)
\( q =\sqrt{34.2 \times 10^{26}} \)
q ≈ 5.85 x 1013 C
b) Suppose the distance (r) between Moon and Earth is halved, there is no change in the value of charge (q). Because from equation (1), q is independent of distance (r).
29.
(i) Consider a dipole placed in the uniform electric field \(\vec { E } \). A dipole experiences a torque when kept in an uniform electric field \(\vec { E } \).(ii) To rotate the dipole (at constant angular velocity) from its initial angle θ' to another angle θ against the torque exerted by the electric field, an equal and opposite external torque must be applied on the dipole.

(iii) The work done by the external torque to rotate the dipole from angle θ' to θ at constant angular velocity is
\(W=\int _{ \theta ' }^{ \theta }{ { \tau }_{ ext }d\theta } \quad ...(1)\)
(iv) Since \({ \vec { \tau } }_{ ext }\) is equal and opposite to \({ \vec { \tau } }_{ E }=\vec { p } \times \vec { E } \), We have
\(|{ \vec { \tau } }_{ ext }|={ |\vec { \tau } }_{ E }|=|\vec { p } \times \vec { E } |\quad \quad \quad ...(2)\)
Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we get
\(W=\int _{ \theta ' }^{ \theta }{ pEsin\theta d\theta } \)
\(W=pE(cos\theta '-cos\theta )\)
(v) This work done is equal to the potential energy difference between the angular positions θ to θ'.
U(θ) - U(θ') = ∆U= - pE cosθ + pE cosθ'
If the initial angle is θ' = 90o and is take as reference point, then U(θ') = pE cos 90o = 0. The potential energy stored in the system of dipole kept in the uniform electric field is given by
\(U=-pEcos\theta =-\vec { p } .\vec { E } \) ....(3)
In addition to p and E, the potential energy also depends on the orientation θ of the electric dipole with respect to the external electric field.
(vi) The potential energy is a) maximum when the dipole is aligned anti-parallel (θ = π) to the external electric field
b) minimum when the dipole is aligned parallel (θ = 0) to the external electric field.

where -e is the charge of an electron. If R is the radius of the circular orbit and v is the velocity of the electron in the circular orbit, then
T = \(\frac { 2\pi R }{ v } \) ..(3)
Using equation (2) and equation (3) in equation (1), we get
μL = \(\frac { e }{ \frac { 2\pi R }{ v } } \pi { R }^{ 2 }=\frac { evR }{ 2 } \) ....(4)
where A = πR2 is the area of the circular loop. By definition, the angular momentum of the electron about O is
\(\vec { L } =\vec { r } \times \vec { p } \)
In magnitude
L = Rp = mvR ...(5)
Using equation (4) and equation (5), we get
\(\frac { { \mu }_{ L } }{ L } =-\frac { \frac { evR }{ 2 } }{ mvR } =\frac { e }{ 2m } \Rightarrow \vec { { \mu }_{ L } } =\frac { e }{ 2m } \vec { L } \) ....(6)
The negative sign indicates that the magnetic moment and angular momentum are in opposite directions.
In magnitude
\(\frac{\mu_L}{L}=\frac{e}{2 m}=\frac{1.60 \times 10^{-19}}{2 \times 9.11 \times 10^{-31}}=0.0878 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{kg}^{-1}\)
\(\frac{\mu_L}{L}=8.78 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{kg}^{-1}=\text { constant }\)
The ratio \(\frac{\mu_L}{L}\) is aconstant known as Gyro-magnetic ratio \(\left(\frac{e}{2 m}\right)\).
According to Bohr quantization
\(\mathrm{L}=\mathrm{nh} / 2 \pi\)
\(\mu_L=\left(\frac{e}{2 m}\right) \mathrm{L}=\frac{\pi e h}{4 \pi m} \)
On substiting known values
\(\mu_L=9.27 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^2\)
The minimum magnetic moment can be obtained by substituting n = 1
\(\mu_2=9.27 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^2=9.27 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
where, \(\mu_B=\frac{c h}{4 \pi m}=9.27 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^2\) is called Bohr magneton. which is used to measure atomic magnetic moments.

(i) During LC oscillations in LC circuits, the energy of the system oscillates between the electric field of the capacitor and the magnetic field of the inductor.
(ii) Although these two forms of energy vary with time, the total energy remains constant. It means that LC oscillations take place in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.
Total energy, U= UE + UB = \(\frac { { q }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { Li }^{ 2 }\)
(iii) consider 3 different stages of LC oscillations and calculate the total energy of the system.
Case (i) When the charge in the capacitor, q Qm = and the current through the inductor, i = 0, the total energy is given by
\(U=\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } +0=\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } \)
The total energy is wholly electrical
Case (ii) When charge = 0; current = Im, the total energy is
\(U=0+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { { Li }^{ 2 } }_{ m }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { { Li }^{ 2 } }_{ m }\)
\(=\frac { L }{ 2 } \times \left( \frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ LC } \right) { Q }_{ m }\omega =\frac { { Q }_{ m } }{ \sqrt { LC } } \)
= \(\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } \)
Case (ii) When charge = 0 ; current = Im the total energy is
\(U=0+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { { Li }^{ 2 } }_{ m }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { { Li }^{ 2 } }_{ m }\)
\(=\frac { L }{ 2 } \times \left( \frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ LC } \right) \) since Im= \({ Q }_{ m }\omega =\frac { { Q }_{ m } }{ \sqrt { LC } } \)
= \(\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } \)
Case (iii) When charge = q; current = t. the total energy is
U = \(\frac { { q }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { Li }^{ 2 }\)
(iv) Since q = Qm = cos ωt, i = \(\frac { dq }{ dt } ={ Q }_{ m }=\omega \) sin ωt. The negative sign in current indicates that the charge in the capacitor decreases with time.
\(U=\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 }{ cos }^{ 2 }\omega t }{ 2C } +\frac { { { L{ \omega }^{ 2 }Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 }{ sin }^{ 2 }\omega t }{ 2 } \)
\(U=\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 }{ cos }^{ 2 }\omega t }{ 2C } +\frac { { { L{ \omega }^{ 2 }Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 }{ sin }^{ 2 }\omega t }{ 2LC } \)
since \({ \omega }^{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ LC } \)
= \(\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } { (cos }^{ 2 }\omega t+{ sin }^{ 2 }\omega t)\)
\(U=\frac { { { Q }_{ m } }^{ 2 } }{ 2C } \)
From the above three cases, it is clear that the total energy of the system remains constant.

Length, I = 2a = 4cm = 4 x 10-2m
Angle, θ = 60°
torque ፔ = 4√3 Nm
Charge, Q = 8 x 10-9C
We know that, ፔ = pE sine [where p = Q x 2a]
ፔ = (Q x 2a)E sinθ
\(\tau =\frac { \partial }{ Q\times (2a)sin\theta } \)
\(=\frac { 4\sqrt { 3 } }{ 8\times { 10 }^{ -9 }\times 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }\times { sin\quad 60 }^{ 0 } } \)
∴ Potential energy, U = -pE cosθ
= -Q(2a) x E x cosθ
\(=-8\times { 10 }^{ -9 }\times 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }\times \frac { 4\sqrt { 3 } \times cos{ 60 }^{ 0 } }{ 8\times { 10 }^{ -9 }\times 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }sin{ 60 }^{ 0 } } \)
\(U=\frac { -4\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =-4J\)

\({ K }_{ W }=\frac { { F }_{ air } }{ { F }_{ water } } \quad ({ F }_{ air }=8N)\)
\({ F }_{ Water }=\frac { { F }_{ air } }{ { K }_{ W } } =\frac { 8 }{ 80 } =\frac { 1 }{ 10 } N\)
Note:
\(F=\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { { q }_{ 1 }{ q }_{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \)
\({ F }_{ m }=\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ \varepsilon }_{ r } } \frac { { q }_{ 1 }{ q }_{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \)
\(\\ \\ \\ \frac { F }{ { F }_{ m } } ={ \varepsilon }_{ r }\Rightarrow [\therefore \frac { { F }_{ air } }{ { F }_{ water } } ={ K }_{ Water }]\)

(i) If two points in a conductor are at different temperatures, the density of electrons at these points will differ and as a result the potential difference is created between these points. Thomson effect is also reversible.
(ii) Heat is transferred due to the current flow in the direction of the current. It is called positive Thomson effect. Similar effect is observed in metals like silver, zinc, and cadmium.
(iii) Heat is transferred due to the current flow in the direction opposite to the direction of current. It is called negative Thomson effect. Similar effect is observed in metals like platinum, nickel, cobalt, and mercury.

Given:
Total number of electrons in the slab,
N = 29 x e = 29 x 2 x 1022
Number g electrons remvoed, n \(=\frac{q}{e}\)
\(n=\frac { 2\times { 10 }^{ -6 } }{ 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 } } \)
n 1.25 x 1013
∴ fraction of electrons removed
\(=\frac{No.of\ electrons\ removed\ (n)}{Total\ No.of \ electrons(N)}\)
\(\\ =\frac { 29\times 2\times { 10 }^{ 22 } }{ 1.25\times { 10 }^{ 13 } } =2.16\times { 10 }^{ -11 }\)

(i) Electric flux \(\phi =\frac { Total\ enclosed\ charge }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \)
Net charge enclosed inside the shell q = 0
∴ electric flux through the shell \(\frac { q }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } =0\)
(ii) The electric field or net charge inside the spherical conducting shell is zero.
Hence the force on charge \(\frac{Q}{2}\)is zero.
Force on charge at \(A,{ F }_{ A }=\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } .\frac { 2Q\left( Q+\frac { Q }{ 2 } \right) }{ { x }^{ 2 } } \)

(i) Consider a positive charge q kept fixed at the origin which produces an electric field \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ E } \) around it.
(ii) A positive test charge q' is brought from point R to point P against the repulsive force between q and q' as shown in Figure. Work must be done to overcome this repulsion. This work done is stored as potential energy.
(iii) The test charge q' is brought from R to P with constant velocity which means that external force used to bring the test charge q' from R to P must be equal and opposite to the coulomb force \(\left( { \overset { \rightarrow }{ E } }_{ ext }=-{ \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } }_{ coloumb } \right) \)
The work done is
\(W=\int _{ R }^{ P }{ { \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } }_{ ext } } .d\overset { \rightarrow }{ r } \quad \quad \quad ...(1)\)
(iii) Since coulomb force is conservative, work done is independent of the path and it depends only on the initial and final positions of the test charge. If potential energy associated with q' at P is Up and that at R is UR' then difference in potential energy is defined as the work done to bring a test charge q' from point P to R and is given as Up - U R = W.
\(\Delta U=\int _{ R }^{ P }{ { \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } }_{ ext } } .d\overset { \rightarrow }{ r } \)
\(Since{ \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } }_{ ext }=-{ \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } }_{ coloumb }=-q'\overset { \rightarrow }{ E } \)
\(\Delta U=\int _{ R }^{ P }{ \left( -q'\overset { \rightarrow }{ E } \right) } .d\overset { \rightarrow }{ r } =q'\int _{ R }^{ P }{ \left( -\overset { \rightarrow }{ E } \right) } .d\overset { \rightarrow }{ r } \)

(i) Self inductance of a coil is desined as the flux linkage with the coil, when a current of 1 A flows through it.
\(L=\frac{{ N\Phi }_{ B }}{i}\)
\(L={ N\Phi }_{ B }\)
(ii) Self inductance of a coil is defined as the opposing emf induced in the coil when the rate of change of current through the coil is 1 A s-1
\(\varepsilon =\frac { d{ (N\Phi }_{ B }) }{ dt } \)
\(=-\frac { d(Li) }{ dt }\)
\(\varepsilon =-L\frac { di }{ dt } \)
L = -e

Conservation of energy:
(i) The truth of Lenz's law can be established on the basis of the law of conservation of energy. The explanation is as follows:
(ii) According to Lenz's law, when a magnet is moved either towards or away from a coil, the induced current produced opposes its motion
(iii) As a result, there will always be a resisting force on the moving magnet.
(iv) Work has to be done by some external agency to move the magnet against this resisting force
(v) Here the mechanical energy of the moving magnet is converted into the electrical energy which in turn, gets converted into Joule heat in the coil i.e., energy is converted from one form to another.
(vi) On the contrary to Lenz's law, let us assume that the induced current helps the cause responsible for its production.
(vii) Now When we push the magnet litle bit towards the coil, the induced current helps the movement of the magnet towards the coil.
(viii) Then the magnet starts moving towards the coil without any expense of energy. This, becomes a perpetual motion machine.
(ix) In practice, no such machine is possible. Therefore, the assumption that the induced current helps the cause is wrong.
53.
Effect of dielectrics in capacitors:
Suppose dielectrics like mica, glass or paper are introduced between the plates, then the capacitance of the capacitor is altered. The dielectric can be inserted into the plates in two different ways.
(i) when the capacitor is disconnected from the battery.
(ii) when the capacitor is connected to the battery.
(i) When the capacitor is disconnected from the battery
Consider a capacitor with two parallel plates each of cross-sectional area A and are separated by a distance d. The capacitor is charged by a battery of voltage Vo and the charge stored is Qo. The capacitance of the capacitor without the dielectric is,
\(C_{0}=\frac{Q_{0}}{V_{0}}\) ....(i)
The battery is then disconnected from the capacitor and the dielectric is inserted between the plates. This is shown in Figure.

The introduction of dielectric between the plates will decrease the electric field. Experimentally it is found that the modified electric field is given by,
\(E=\frac{E_{0}}{\varepsilon_{r}}\) ....(2)
Here Eo is the electric field inside the capacitors when there is no dielectric and \(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}\) is the relative permittivity of the dielectric or simply known as the dielectric constant. Since \(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}\) > 1, the electric field E < Eo.
As a result, the electrostatic potential difference between the plates (V = Ed) is also reduced. But at the same time, the charge Qo will remain constant once the battery is disconnected.
Hence the new potential difference is
\(V=E d=\frac{E_{0}}{\varepsilon_{r}} d=\frac{V_{0}}{\varepsilon_{r}}\) .......(3)
We know that capacitance is inversely proportional to the potential difference. Therefore as V decreases, C increases.
Thus new capacitance in the presence of a dielectric is
\(C=\frac{Q_{0}}{V}=\varepsilon_{r} \frac{Q_{0}}{V_{0}}=\varepsilon_{r} C_{0}\) ......(4)
Since \(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}\) > 1, we have C > Co. Thus insertion of the dielectric increases the capacitance.
We know that, Co =\(\frac{\varepsilon_{\mathrm{o}} A}{d}\) ...........(5)
Equation (4) ⇒ \(C=\frac{\varepsilon_{r} \varepsilon_{0} A}{d}=\frac{\varepsilon A}{d} \) ..........(6)
where \(\varepsilon=\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}} \varepsilon_{\mathrm{o}}\) is the permittivity of the dielectric medium.
The energy stored in the capacitor before the insertion of a dielectric is given by,
\(U_{0}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q_{0}^{2}}{C_{0}}\) .......(7)
After the dielectric is inserted, the charge Qo remains constant but the capacitance is increased. As a result, the stored energy is decreased.
\(U=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q_{0}^{2}}{C}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q_{0}^{2}}{\varepsilon_{r} C_{0}}=\frac{U_{0}}{\varepsilon_{r}}\) ..........(8)
Since \(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}\) > 1we get U < Uo. There is a decrease in energy because, when the dielectric is inserted, the capacitor spends some energy in pulling the dielectric inside.
(ii) When the battery remains connected to the capacitor:
When the battery of voltage vo remains connected to the capacitor and the dielectric is inserted into the capacitor, then
(a) The potential difference vo across the plates remains constant.
(b) The charge stored in the capacitor is increased by a factor \(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}\). (Experimentally found).
.jpg)
\({Q}=\varepsilon_{r} Q_{0}\) .......(1)
Due to this increased charge, the capacitance is also increased. The new capacitance is,
\(C=\frac{Q}{V_{0}}=\varepsilon_{r} \frac{Q_{0}}{V_{0}}=\varepsilon_{r} C_{0}\) ......(2)
However the reason for the increase in capacitance in this case where the battery remains connected is different from the case when the battery is disconnected before introducing the dielectric.
The energy stored in the capacitor before the insertion of a dielectric is given by,
\(U_{0}=\frac{1}{2} C_{0} V_{0}^{2}\) ....(4)
After the dielectric is inserted, the capacitance is increased; hence the stored energy is also increased.
\( U=\frac{1}{2} C V_{0}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{r} C_{0} V_{0}^{2}=\varepsilon_{r} U_{0} \) .....(5)
\(Since \ \varepsilon_{r}>1\ we \ have \ U>U_{o}.\)
Note: Here we have not used the expression \(U_o=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q_0^2}{C_0}\)because here, both charge and capacitance are changed, whereas in equation (4), Vo remains constant.
Since voltage between the capacitor Vo is constant, the electric field between the plates also remains constant .The energy density is given by,
\(u=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon E_{0}^{2}\) ..(6)
where ε is the permittivity of the given dielectric material.

(i) Consider the following charged object of irregular shape as shown in Figure. The entire charged object is divided into a large number of charge elements \(\Delta { q }_{ 1 },\Delta { q }_{ 2 },\Delta { q }_{ 3 },.....\Delta { q }_{ n },\). and each charge element \(\Delta { q }\) is taken as a point charge.
(ii) The electric field at a point P due to a charged object is approximately given by the sum of the fields at P due to all such charge elements.
\(\vec { E } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \left( \frac { { \Delta q }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 1p }^{ 2 } } { \hat { r } }_{ 1p }+\frac { \Delta { q }_{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 2p }^{ 2 } } { \hat { r } }_{ 2p }+.....+\frac { \Delta { q }_{ n } }{ { r }_{ np }^{ 2 } } { \hat { r } }_{ np } \right) \)
\(\approx \frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \sum _{ t=1 }^{ n }{ \frac { { \Delta q }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 1P }^{ 2 } } { \hat { r } }_{ iP } } (1)\)
(iii) Here \(\Delta { q }_{ i }\) is the ith charge element, rip is the unit vector from the ith charge element to the point P. However the equation (1) is only an approximation. To incorporate the continuous distribution of charge, we take the limit \(\Delta q\rightarrow 0(=dq).\) In this limit, the summation in the equation (1) becomes an integration and takes the following form \(\vec { E } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \int { \frac { dq }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \hat { r } } \) ...(2)
(iv) Here r is the distance of the point P from the infinitesimal charge dq and \(\hat { r } \) is the unit vector from dq to point P. Even though the electric field for a continuous charge distribution can be difficult to evaluate, the force experienced by some test charge q in this electric field is still given by \(\vec { F } =q\vec { E } \)

(a) If the charge Q is uniformly distributed along the line of length L, then linear charge density (charge per unit length) \(\lambda \) is \(\lambda =\frac { Q }{ L } \) unit is coulomb per meter (Cm-1). The charge present in the infinitesimal length dl is dq =\(\lambda \)dl. This is shown in Figure 1(a).
The electric field due to the line of total charge Q is given by
\(\vec { E } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \int { \frac { \lambda dl }{ { r }^{ 2 } } } \hat { r } =\frac { \lambda }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \int { \frac { dl }{ { r }^{ 2 } } } \hat { r } \)
(b) If the charge Q is uniformly distributed on a surface of area A, then surface charge density (charge per unit area) \(\sigma \) is \(\sigma \) =\(\frac{Q}{A}\). Its unit is coulomb per square meter (C m-2). The charge present in the infinitesimal area dA is dq=\(\sigma dA\). This is shown in the figure 1(b). The electric field due to a total charge Q is given by \(\vec { E } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \int { \frac { \sigma da }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \hat { r } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \sigma \int { \frac { da }{ { r }^{ 2 } } } \hat { r } } \) This is shown in Figure 1(b).
(c) If the charge Q is uniformly distributed in a volume V, then volume charge density (charge per unit volume) p is given by \(\rho =\frac { Q }{ V } .\) Its unit is coulomb per cubic meter (Cm-3).
The charge present in the infinitesimal volume element dV is dq = pdV. This is shown in Figure 1(c). The electric field due to a volume of total charge Q is given by,\(\vec { E } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \int { \frac { \rho dV }{ { r }^{ 2 } } =\hat { r } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \rho \int { \frac { dV }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \hat { r } } } \).
