The property of a dielectric which determines the amount of electrostatic energy that can be stored by the material when a given voltage is applied to it Also called permattivity
The ratio of the capacity of a condenser having a dielectric constant between the plates to that of the same condenser when the dielectric is replaced by a vacuum; a measure of the electrical charge stored per unit volume at unit potential
The ratio of the capacity of a condenser (made with a dielectric material) to the capacity of the same condenser (with air as the dielectric) Measured at a frequency of 10E6 cycles per second
For a given substance, the ratio of the capacity of a condenser with that substance as dielectric to the capacity of the same condenser with a vacuum for dielectric It is a measure, therefore, of the amount of electrical charge a given substance can withstand at a given electric field strength; it should not be confused with dielectric strength
Also called permitivity That property of a dielectric which determines the amount of electrostatic energy that can be stored by the material when a given voltage is applied to it Example: the ratio of capacitance of a capacitor using the dielectric to the capacitance of an identical capacitor using a vacuum as a dielectric
A parameter characterzing the relative ability of a dielectric material in a capacitor to produce energy storage The higher the number the better the capacitor
The specific inductive capacity of a dielectric That property of a dielectric which determines the electrostatic energy stored per unit volume for unit potential gradient The dielectric constant of a medium is defined by e in the equation F = QQ1/er2 , where F is the force of attraction between two charges Q and Q1 separated by a distance r in a uniform medium
The term used to describe a material's ability to store charge when used as a capacitor dielectric It is the ratio of the charge that would be stored with free space to that stored with the material in question as the dielectric
That property (K) of an insulating material which is the ratio of the parallel capacitance (C) of a given configuration of electrodes with the material as the dielectric, to the capacitance of the same electrode configuration with a vacuum as the dielectric
The dielectric constant of a material (wood) is the ratio of the electric potential energy stored in a certain volume of the material in a given electric field to the corresponding energy stored in the same volume of free space in the same electric field
Also called permittivity That property of a dielectric which determines the amount of electrostatic energy that can be stored by the material when a given voltage is applied to it Actually, the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor using the dielectric to the capacitance of an identical capacitor using a vacuum as a dielectric
the specific inductive capacity or a dielectric That property of a dielectric which determines the electrostatic energy stored per unit volume for unit potential gradient
