Single-Dielectric Configurations

ABSTRACT Although most of the real-life configurations are multi-dielectric in nature, it is required to study some of the single-dielectric arrangements, which are commonly used, for the proper understanding of the application of theory in determining electric field in practical cases. This chapter presents a physical explanation of displacement current and also discusses in details the energy stored in an electric field. Three single-dielectric arrangements are analyzed and how such analysis can be used for most economical use of insulating materials has also been discussed with the help of state-of-the-art examples.

4.1 Introduction

Mother Nature has presented the humankind an insulation as a gift, ...
