  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. 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?

  3. 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 …

  4. electrostatics - Trick question: why do dielectrics and isolated ...

    Mar 5, 2023 · Trick question: Dielectric material produces net surface charge when placed in electric field. Isolated conductor also produces net surface charge when placed in electric field. However, …

  5. Surface Charge Density At Boundary Between Vacuum And Linear …

    Jun 3, 2024 · The dielectric half slab won't affect this much, because when there is only a negligible gap between the plates and the slab, the contribution to line integral of electric field when going from one …

  6. Conductor-Dielectric Boundary Conditions - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 3, 2022 · 2 We have a conductor of resistivity ρ ρ and has a boundary with a dielectric of permittivity ϵ ϵ and we have displacement vector D→ D → at an angle α α with normal to the boundary and …

  7. dielectric - Dependence of capacitance on its build material - Physics ...

    Since each of these oxides has a different dielectric constant and dielectric strength (withstand voltage), a capacitor made from one material would have different characteristics to a capacitor of similar …

  8. What is the physical reasons for variations in the tangential and ...

    Dec 19, 2016 · According to Dielectric to Dielectric Boundary conditions, the tangential components of the electric field E remain continuous at the boundary of two dielectrics while the tangential …

  9. Is free space a 'dielectric'? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Nov 13, 2020 · The physical constant $\epsilon_0$ is usually called "permittivity of free space" or "vacuum permittivity". Griffiths says: I dislike the term, for it suggests that the vacuum is

  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 …
