Electromagnetics & Signals Course 🔋 Electrostatics II: Conductors, Dielectrics & Capacitance
🔒

Boundary Conditions for E and D

Inside this lesson
  • State and justify the continuity of D-normal at a charge-free dielectric interface
  • State and justify the continuity of E-tangential at any electrostatic interface
  • Derive the relation ε_r1·E1n = ε_r2·E2n from D-continuity
  • Predict whether E bends toward or away from the normal when entering a higher-permittivity medium
