Calculate Relative Permittivity



Formula

The formula to calculate the relative permittivity (εr) is:

\[ \epsilon_r = \frac{C}{C_0} \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the capacitance of the material (C) is 5 farads and the capacitance in a vacuum (C₀) is 1 farad. Using the formula:

\[ \epsilon_r = \frac{5}{1} \]

We get:

\[ \epsilon_r = 5 \]

So, the relative permittivity is 5.
