What is Relative dielectric constant for vacuum?

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


What is relative permittivity if dielectric constant of water is 80.10?

'Dielectric constant' is an archaic term for relative permittivity. They are one and the same.


What is meant about di-electric constant?

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.

What is dk measurement?

DK measurement is the measurement of the relative dielectric constant of liquids and solid material. It is a measure of permeability.


Dielectric constant of metal is?

The dielectric constant varies, depending on the material.


Can a quantity have constant value and be dimensionless?

Yes. Conversion factors will generally be dimensionless constants.


Why does dielectric constant decrease with an increase in temperature?

If the temperature increases, the conductivity will increase too which means the dielectric constant is reduced


Is dielectric strength the same as dielectric constant?

No, these are two unrelated properties of a material.
