How to Evaluate Relative Permittivity?

Relative Permittivity evaluator uses Relative Permittivity = (Specimen Capacitance*Spacing between Electrodes)/(Electrode Effective Area*[Permitivity-vacuum]) to evaluate the Relative Permittivity, The Relative Permittivity formula is defined as a measure of how much electric energy a material can store compared to a vacuum. It quantifies the ability of a material to allow the formation of an electric field within it. The relative permittivity of a material is defined as the ratio of the permittivity of the material to the permittivity of free space (vacuum). Relative Permittivity is denoted by εr symbol.

FAQs on Relative Permittivity

What is the formula to find Relative Permittivity?
The formula of Relative Permittivity is expressed as Relative Permittivity = (Specimen Capacitance*Spacing between Electrodes)/(Electrode Effective Area*[Permitivity-vacuum]). Here is an example- 199.4935 = (6.4E-06*0.0004)/(1.45*[Permitivity-vacuum]).
How to calculate Relative Permittivity?
With Specimen Capacitance (Cs), Spacing between Electrodes (d) & Electrode Effective Area (A) we can find Relative Permittivity using the formula - Relative Permittivity = (Specimen Capacitance*Spacing between Electrodes)/(Electrode Effective Area*[Permitivity-vacuum]). This formula also uses Permittivity of vacuum constant(s).
