Noun
dielectric constant (plural dielectric constants)
(physics) A measure of the permittivity of a material relative to that of a vacuum.
dielectric-constant
At the Curie point temperature, the dielectric constant drops sufficiently to allow the formation of potential barriers at the grain boundaries, and the resistance increases sharply with temperature. Source: Internet
Below the Curie point temperature, the high dielectric constant prevents the formation of potential barriers between the crystal grains, leading to a low resistance. Source: Internet
He then equated the ratio of the dielectric constant to the magnetic permeability with a suitably adapted version of Weber and Kohlrausch's result of 1856, and he substituted this result into Newton's equation for the speed of sound. Source: Internet
At the optimum pH, the concentration of the electrically neutral species is maximised; such a species is more soluble in organic solvents having a low dielectric constant than it is in water. Source: Internet
For typical coaxial cables, the shield cutoff frequency is 600 (RG-6A) to 2,000 Hz (RG-58C). citation : The parameters L and C are determined from the ratio of the inner ( d ) and outer ( D ) diameters and the dielectric constant ( ). Source: Internet
If electromagnetic waves traveling through one material meet another material, having a different dielectric constant or diamagnetic constant from the first, the waves will reflect or scatter from the boundary between the materials. Source: Internet
