Linear dielectrics:
Susceptibility, Permittivity, Dielectric Constant..
In most dielectric materials, the polarization
is proportional to the electric field:
(dipole moment
)
Such materials are called Linear dielectrics
the constant of proportionality is called the
electric susceptibility of the material.
This constant is dimensionless
Linear dielectrics:
Susceptibility, Permittivity, Dielectric Constant..
In above equation, E is the total field
(external + internal).
Hence, if we put a dielectric into an external
field E0, we will not know the exact value of P..
Linear dielectrics:
Susceptibility, Permittivity, Dielectric Constant..
In linear media, we have
D (linear dielectric) is also proportional to E..
where,
permittivity of the material
is called the
Linear dielectrics:
The dimensionless quantity is called relative
permittivity or the dielectric constant,
which is the ratio of permittivity of the
material to permittivity of vacuum.
