Q
Q: In a capacitor, what does the dielectric constant represent?
Solution:
The dielectric constant represents the ability of a material to increase the capacitance of a capacitor compared to a vacuum.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a capacitor is. A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy.
Step 2: Know that a capacitor has two plates and a space between them, which can be filled with different materials.
Step 3: Recognize that a vacuum (empty space) has a certain ability to store electrical energy, which is called its capacitance.
Step 4: Learn that the dielectric constant is a number that tells us how much better a material can store electrical energy compared to a vacuum.
Step 5: Realize that a higher dielectric constant means the material can increase the capacitance of the capacitor, allowing it to store more energy.
