Question
What effect does the dielectric medium have on the capacitance of a capacitor?
✓

Answer

In the presence of dielectric medium the value of capacitance increases. But this increment depends on the condition that how much the middle part of the plates is filled with dielectric material, whether it is filled fully, partially or in the form of different layers.

Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons is:

where $M_{Z,N}$= mass of an atom with Z protons and N neutrons in the nucleus and $M_H=$ mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.
