Dielectric Constant

Tags: Constant

Dielectric constant, abbreviated as \(\epsilon\) (greek symbol epsilon), (measured in farads/meter, F/m) is the measure of a substance to an electric field expressed as the ratio of its electric displacement to the applied field strength.

 

Dielectric Constant formula
\(\large{ \epsilon = \frac{ \epsilon_s }{ \epsilon_0 } }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ \epsilon }\)  (greek symbol epsilon) = dielectric constant	-	\(\large{\frac{F}{m}}\)
\(\large{ \epsilon_s }\) = permittivity of the substance	-	\(\large{\frac{F}{m}}\)
\(\large{ \epsilon_0 }\) = permittivity of a vacuum	-	\(\large{\frac{F}{m}}\)
