Please explain me, how?

Tamil said:   1 decade ago
c=(eo*A)/d
eo=excelong

Rakesh ghosh said:   1 decade ago
c=kAe0/d.
k=Dielectric const.
a=Plate area.
d=Plate separation.
e0=Ephsilon not=Permittivity of space.

What is difference between dielectric constant and dielectric strength?

RNV said:   10 years ago
The dielectric constant is a kind of springiness that determines how good the medium is at storing energy and releasing it.

The dielectric strength is a measure of how good the medium is at resisting being damaged, how much force you can apply to it before it breaks.

Only the dielectric constant determine the capacitance of a capacitor not strength.

Mica is the popular dielectric material used in capacitors which has the dielectric constant of 5.
