So just to check i understand what i just read. from the thread "dielectric constant"
By putting a conductor e.g copper in a electric field we polarize it, and thus induce an electric field opposing the orignal field of the capacitor without it
........Copper in mid
Positve Plate...+.l...l.-...+.l...l.-..Negative plate
......+.l...l.-...+.l...l.-
......+.l...l.-...+.l...l.-
......+.l...l.-...+.l...l.-
......+.l...l.-...+.l...l.-
Electric field...-------> ---------> --------> (field goes through conductor in middle)
Induced field.....<--------
If the size of the induced field matched the size of the field going through the copper in the middle they would cancel and effecitvely the overall field would just be 0 in the conductor placed in the middle. So the resultant field would just be --------> ---------> effectively?
Cheers Trent
Sorry if I've broken any rules first post
**edit** had to add dots due to it colapsing the spaces and it was just a bunch of lines and letters sry its made it a lot harder to understand
