====== Force on a Dielectric ======

{{:physicsdemos:electricity_and_magnetism:capacitance:force_on_a_dielectric_1.jpg?600|}}

Two conducting plates are partially submerged in a dielectric fluid. When a large potential difference is applied to the plates the dielectric rises between them. A Wimshurst machine is used to charge the plates. A video camera is used to project a close-up view for the class.
