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...
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?
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 …
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 …
Why does potential decrease when a dielectric is introduced?
Apr 20, 2019 · Yes I understand the additive properties of capacitors (which come from the additive properties of potential while keeping charge conserved). And I suppose that this problem is …
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 …
Induced electric field in dielectric - Physics Stack Exchange
Apr 29, 2017 · Why is induced electric field due to bound charges in dielectric always less than the external electric field?
How is bound charge and free charge possible?
A dielectric is not a conductor, thus there are no electrons that are able to flow through it. However atoms or molecules within may be able to be polarised making an electric dipole, which can align to …
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?
electromagnetic radiation - Real and imaginary parts of dielectric ...
According to Jackson, the real part of the dielectric is related to polarization and anomalous dispersion, while the imaginary part is associated with dissipation of energy into the medium.
