  2. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    Permittivity as a function of frequency can take on real or complex values. In SI units, permittivity is measured in farads per meter (F/m or A 2 ·s 4 ·kg −1 ·m −3). The displacement field D is measured in units of coulombs per square meter (C/m 2), while the electric field E is measured in volts per meter (V/m).

  3. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    Likewise, relative permittivity is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor using that material as a dielectric, compared with a similar capacitor that has vacuum as its dielectric. Relative permittivity is also commonly known as the dielectric constant, a term still used but deprecated by standards organizations in engineering [ 15 ] as ...

  4. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Capacitance is the ability of an object to store electric charge. It is measured by the change in charge in response to a difference in electric potential, expressed as the ratio of those quantities. Commonly recognized are two closely related notions of capacitance: self capacitance and mutual capacitance.

  5. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    The capacitance increases with the area A of the plates and with the permittivity ε of the dielectric material, and decreases with the plate separation distance d. The capacitance is therefore greatest in devices made from materials with a high permittivity, large plate area, and small distance between plates.

  6. Electrical length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

    The permittivity or dielectric constant of that material increases the distributed capacitance in the cable, which reduces the velocity factor below unity. If there is a material with high magnetic permeability ( μ {\displaystyle \mu } ) in the line such as steel or ferrite which increases the distributed inductance L {\displaystyle L} , it ...

  7. Signal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_velocity

    In a transmission line, signal velocity is the reciprocal of the square root of the capacitance-inductance product, where inductance and capacitance are typically expressed as per-unit length. In circuit boards made of FR-4 material, the signal velocity is typically about six inches (15 cm) per nanosecond, or 6.562 ps/mm.

  8. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor, because they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material, but instead they ...

  9. 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.
