A measure for the effect of a medium on the potential energy of interaction between two charges. It is measured by comparing the capacity of a capacitor with and without the sample present.
the ratio of the permittivity of a medium to that of a vacuum.
Also known as permittivity, an index of the ability of a substance to attenuate the transmission of an electrostatic force from one charged body to another (i.e. reduce the electric field within the dielectric). The higher the value, the greater the attenuation. The standard measurement apparatus ut...
the ratio of the permittivity of a medium to that of a vacuum.
A property that is a measure of the ability of an insulating medium to store electrostatic energy. Numerically, the dielectric constant of an insulating material is the ratio of the capacitance value when using the material, to the capacitance value of the same geometry (area and thickness) component but using vacuum as an insulator. 
The relative permittivity of a material. Indicates the ability of a material to store electrical energy when a voltage is applied to it.
Used to determine the ability of an insulator to store electrical energy. The dielectric constant is the ratio of the capacitance induced by two metallic plates with an insulator between them to the capacitance of the same plates with air or a vacuum between them.
The ratio of electric flux density to electric field.
A number that describes the dielectric strength of a material relative to a vacuum, which has a dielectric constant of one.
(Permittivity or Specific Inductive Capacity) the specific inductive capacity of a dielectric. That property of a dielectric which determines the electrostatic energy stored per unit volume for unit potential gradient.
measure of the ability of the soil to store electrical energy in the presence of an electrostatic field .
The ratio of the capacity of a condenser made with a particular dielectric material to the capacity of the same condenser with air as the dielectric. Measured at a frequency of 106 cycles per second.
