🔍 Key Concepts

• Dielectric material in a capacitor and how it affects electric field strength • How thickness of the dielectric changes the voltage the material can withstand • The idea of electric field intensity (V/m) and breakdown

💭 Think About

• For a given dielectric material, what happens to the maximum electric field it can withstand if you change the material type but keep thickness the same? • If you keep the same material but make the dielectric layer thicker or thinner, how does that affect the voltage needed to cause breakdown? • Is breakdown voltage tied to only one physical property of the capacitor, or more than one?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that different dielectric materials (air, mica, paper, oil, etc.) have different dielectric strengths (different breakdown fields). • Consider whether increasing thickness of the same dielectric increases or decreases total breakdown voltage. • Check if both material type and thickness together determine how many volts the capacitor can safely handle.
