Composite Dielectric Capacitor

Just nomenclature. Your $\epsilon_1$ is relative permittivity while their $\epsilon_1$ is permittivity.

Physically, why an oscillating voltage source doesn't see the inductor or the capacitor at r...

The math you probably refer to (complex impedances), is relevant for the final steady state. For transient behavior, when circuit is just connected, you need to apply time domain math which takes into …

Electric Potential Energy of a charged conductor

The equation $voltage=\frac{ energy}{ charge}$ or $V=\frac{E}{Q}$ should be interpreted as follows: Given a voltage of $V$, you need to invest energy $E$ to move charge $Q$ across this voltage. When y …

Three questions about capacitance

Aside from the typical capacitor made of two conductors and explained in @DakkVader response, one often encounters a single conductor holding charge. In that case, potential difference is measured b …

Why are the two outer charge densities on a system of parallel charged plates identical?

Count the surfaces from left to right: S1,S2,S3...,Sn. Each surface generates a symmetric field (left and right). Hence total field left of S1 (E0) is equal to total field right of Sn. Field between S …
