  1. 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. …

  2. Is free space a 'dielectric'? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Nov 13, 2020 · The physical constant $\epsilon_0$ is usually called "permittivity of free space" or "vacuum permittivity". Griffiths says: I dislike the term, for it suggests that the vacuum is

  3. Why is the general definition of electric fields in dielectrics ...

    Jun 9, 2020 · 2 According to the definition of the dielectric constant (k) for a dielectric, the electric field in the dielectric is defined as the corresponding electric field in vacuum divided by k. We …

  4. electrostatics - Trick question: why do dielectrics and isolated ...

    Mar 5, 2023 · Trick question: Dielectric material produces net surface charge when placed in electric field. Isolated conductor also produces net surface charge when placed in electric field. …

  5. Surface Charge Density At Boundary Between Vacuum And Linear …

    Jun 3, 2024 · The dielectric half slab won't affect this much, because when there is only a negligible gap between the plates and the slab, the contribution to line integral of electric field …

  6. Conductor-Dielectric Boundary Conditions - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 3, 2022 · 2 We have a conductor of resistivity ρ ρ and has a boundary with a dielectric of permittivity ϵ ϵ and we have displacement vector D→ D → at an angle α α with normal to the …

  7. 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?

  8. What is the physical reasons for variations in the tangential and ...

    Dec 19, 2016 · According to Dielectric to Dielectric Boundary conditions, the tangential components of the electric field E remain continuous at the boundary of two dielectrics while …

  9. 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?

  10. 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 …
