Capacitors and dielectrics Introduction of a dielectric  capacitance increases With battery connected  potential difference is fixed and maintained, charge increases. In other words, energy increases => dielectric is pushed out When the battery is not connected, charge stays the same, the energy decreases  dielectric is pulled in.

= An infinite sequence of capacitors, each equal to C. Find the equivalent capacitance S. But watch… algebra-wise this is also described by the equation… Solve for S. = If you just look at the first link, by replacing s in the last arm by C, its equivalent capacitance is 1.33C, not a bad guess for the whole thing
