The formula to calculate the Dielectric Constant is:
\[ k = \frac{E}{E_0} \]
Where:
The dielectric constant is a measure of the permittivity of a substance compared to the permittivity of a vacuum. It indicates how much electric field is reduced inside the material compared to a vacuum. This is important in various applications, including capacitors and insulating materials.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Dielectric Constant:
\[ k = \frac{2.2 \times 10^{-11}}{8.8541878128 \times 10^{-12}} \approx 2.48 \]
This means that the dielectric constant for this scenario is approximately 2.48.
