The dielectric constant varies, depending on the material.
Correct: it is a dimensionless number.
There are a number of K constants:1) k, the spring constant in Hooke's law relating deformation (strain) and force applied (stress) to a material body.2) k or kB, the Boltzmann constant, the physical constant relating energy and temperature at the particle level.3) K is a thermodynamic chemical equilibrium constant.4) Coulomb's constant k e is used in measuring electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles. It comes from three other constants: the speed of light c 0 , magnetic permeability μ 0 , and electric permittivity ε 0.5) κ (kappa), in semiconductor manufacturing, means a low-κ dielectric: a material with a small dielectric constant relative to silicon dioxide.
Permittivity is the measure of access of electric field in any medium while the other is the same of magnetic field in any medium. This is because of symmetry between the electric field and magnetic field that they depend on the medium in which they exist. The both have different units and different relations with their respective fields. Here is a relation between the both for those who are interested in MODERN PHYSICS but it has nothing to do in electromagnetics alone. 1/( ε0 µ0) =c^2 This answer has been given by Muhammad Saad Nawaz
DK measurement is the measurement of the relative dielectric constant of liquids and solid material. It is a measure of permeability.
'Dielectric constant' is an archaic term for relative permittivity. They are one and the same.
The relative permittivity of a material is its dielectric permittivity expressed as a ratio relative to the permittivity of vacuum.Permittivity is a material property that expresses the force between two point charges in the material. Relative permittivity is the factor by which the electric field between the charges is decreased or increased relative to vacuum.Likewise, relative permittivity is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor using that material as a dielectric, compared to a similar capacitor that has vacuum as its dielectric. Relative permittivity is also commonly known as dielectric constant, a term deprecated in physics and engineering.
YES IT IS. Any quantity which is ratio of two physical quantities having same unit is dimensionless. Dielectric constant is ratio of Permittivty of medium to the permittivity of free space. As Permittivity of medium and permittivity of free space both have same units(F/m ie Farad/meter) dielectric constant becomes dimensionless quantity
Magic. Look up capacitors on wikipedia!!A capacitor stores electrical charges in its plates.Both wrong. A capacitor stores energy as an electric field developed in the dielectric between its plates. A good dielectric with high permittivity (once called dielectric constant) concentrates this field, allowing more energy to be stored in a capacitor having the same plate area and separation but a dielectric of lower permittivity.
The dielectric constant is the ratio of the permittivity of a substance to the permittivity of free space. It is an expression of the extent to which a material concentrates electric flux, and is the electrical equivalent of relative magnetic permeability. As the dielectric constant increases, the electric flux density increases, if all other factors remain unchanged. This enables objects of a given size, such as sets of metal plates, to hold their electric charge for long periods of time, and/or to hold large quantities of charge. Materials with high dielectric constants are useful in the manufacture of high-value capacitors.

That is called the dielectric constant, also the square root of the relative permittivity.

Relative permittivity or dielectric constant of a medium is defined as the ratio of force between two charges separated by a certain distance in air or vacuum to the force between the same charges separated by the same distance in the medium.According to American Heritage Dictionary:permittivitySYLLABICATION: per·mit·tiv·i·tyPRONUNCIATION: PERM eh TIV eh TEENOUN: Inflected forms: pl. per·mit·tiv·i·tiesA measure of the ability of a material to resist the formation of an electric field within it. Also called dielectric constant, relative permittivity.
The dielectric constant varies, depending on the material.
A dielectric is an insulating material that does not conduct electricity and is transparent to an electromagnetic field. Dielectric materials are used to separate conducting surfaces such as the plates inside a capacitor, wires inside transformers, electric cable conductors, and elsewhere in the electric industry where electrical separation of charged elements is necessary. The dielectric constant is a ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor in which a particular insulating material is the dielectric, to the capacitance of the capacitor in which a vacuum is the dielectric.
If the temperature increases, the conductivity will increase too which means the dielectric constant is reduced
