  1. Difference between dielectric constant and dielectric function

    I'm confused by the definition of dielectric constant. We all know that dielectric is function of wavelength, because materials respond in different ways depending on the energy of the light. But w...

  2. electrostatics - Why is capacitance increased with a dielectric rather ...

    Feb 12, 2019 · A dielectric with high permittivity $\varepsilon$ permits (requires) more polarization for a given field magnitude than a low permittivity one. More polarization means more charge stored, so …

  3. Resultant capacitance of a capacitor having a combination of ...

    Mar 7, 2021 · In few questions, I am having some confusion on how to take the resultant capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with a combination of dielectric in between parallel plates.

  4. Why is the general definition of electric fields in dielectrics ...

    Jun 9, 2020 · 2 According to the definition of the dielectric constant (k) for a dielectric, the electric field in the dielectric is defined as the corresponding electric field in vacuum divided by k. We are also aware …

  5. Displacement current in a dielectric - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jan 27, 2025 · Further, this would imply that the equation for net displacement current in a dielectric medium would be $\epsilon_ok \frac {d\phi_E} {dt}$ However, this result doesn't make intuitive sense …

  6. electromagnetism - Dielectric constant or permittivity of metals ...

    Jan 9, 2016 · I'm wondering what the dielectric constant or permittivity of metals is --particularly copper. Do metals have an infinite permittivity?

  7. Conductor-Dielectric Boundary Conditions - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 3, 2022 · 2 We have a conductor of resistivity $\rho$ and has a boundary with a dielectric of permittivity $\epsilon$ and we have displacement vector $\vec D$ at an angle $\alpha$ with normal …

  8. Is there any relation between dielectric constant of material and its ...

    Jun 10, 2021 · For conductors dielectric constant is infinite as electric field cant exist inside it .And conductors have very low resistance too .So is there any relation btw dielectric constant and …

  9. What is the dielectric constant of a pure conductor?

    Feb 18, 2016 · Dielectric constant is the ratio of permittivity of a medium to the permittivity of free space. How to find dielectric constant of a conductor?

  10. What is dielectric constant of metal? - Physics Stack Exchange

    So I need the dielectric constant of metal as input. I know that static dielectric constant of vacuum is a unity and there are several values of various well-known materials. However, I cannot find a …
