  2. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    The relative permittivity (in older texts, dielectric constant) is the permittivity of a material expressed as a ratio with the electric permittivity of a vacuum. A dielectric is an insulating material, and the dielectric constant of an insulator measures the ability of the insulator to store electric energy in an electrical field.

  3. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    Another common term encountered for both absolute and relative permittivity is the dielectric constant which has been deprecated in physics and engineering [2] as well as in chemistry. [ 3 ] By definition, a perfect vacuum has a relative permittivity of exactly 1 whereas at standard temperature and pressure , air has a relative permittivity of ...

  4. Bjerrum length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjerrum_length

    In standard units, the Bjerrum length is given by = , where is the elementary charge, is the relative dielectric constant of the medium and is the vacuum permittivity. For water at room temperature ( T ≈ 293 K {\displaystyle T\approx 293{\text{ K}}} ), ε r ≈ 80 {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{r}\approx 80} , so that λ B ≈ 0.71 nm ...

  5. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    A dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) is an electronic component that exhibits resonance of the polarisation response for a narrow range of frequencies, generally in the microwave band. It consists of a "puck" of ceramic that has a large dielectric constant and a low dissipation factor. Such resonators are often used to provide a frequency ...

  6. Dielectric spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_spectroscopy

    Materials or systems exhibiting multiple phases (such as composites or heterogeneous materials) commonly show a universal dielectric response, whereby dielectric spectroscopy reveals a power law relationship between the impedance (or the inverse term, admittance) and the frequency, ω, of the applied AC field.

  7. Water capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_capacitor

    The permittivity of water, calculated considering the system as a plane capacitor, appeared to be very high. This behavior may be explained by the theory of super dielectric materials. [ 7 ] The theory of super dielectric materials and simple tests demonstrated that material on the outside of a parallel plate capacitor dramatically increases ...

  8. Electric susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_susceptibility

    In electricity (electromagnetism), the electric susceptibility (; Latin: susceptibilis "receptive") is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of polarization of a dielectric material in response to an applied electric field. The greater the electric susceptibility, the greater the ability of a material to polarize in ...
