Hi guys,
I have a few questions on Electric fields and electrodes....
Lets say I had an AC source, connecting to electrodes , positive and negative , with a dielectric in between (say AIR).
When I switch on the source, there will be an electric field across the plates which alternates at the same frequency as the source.
My quesions are as follows,
- Will electric field density be , on average , equal at both ends of the elctrodes?
- What will happen to the density at both electrodes if i made one of the electrodes smaller in surface area compared to the other ?
- How is the power across from the positive electrode to the negative electrode change? Is there a drop due to resistive losses in the dielectric? and what is the CAUSE of these resistive drops (like how is the energy lost and why ) ?
Thanks guys
