Bill,

Let me ask an EE.

Well, you already have. But my Masters in solid state (device physics; specializing in bandgap engineered compound semiconductor devices) doesn't mean squawt if I can't explain something, or have completely lost my mind.

Pravin.

Bill, Re:I would have thought that there would be the same gradient, since the sep is the same as is the voltage. the extra charge stored is caused by the bigger "spring" in the higher K dielectric..

Try looking at as the gradient in the 'filling' -- that reduces the gradient between the effective 'plates'.
