Generally, increased moisture levels will lower breakdown strength, especially if the dielectric readily absorbs water. Increasing temperature generally decreases breakdown strength of solid dielectrics. The dielectric strength of some materials may increase with temperature within limited temperature ranges. However, dielectric strength eventually begins to decrease at higher temperatures.

How does a grain moisture tester work?

Moisture meters use what is often referred to as the capacitive method or RF dielectric method. With this method a radio signal at a specified frequency is sent through the sample. As water interacts with radio waves (that's how your microwave oven works) it is possible to determine the moisture content by measuring how much the radio signal is changed by the sample. The effect that the sample has on the radio signal is termed the dielectric constant, and it increases proportionally to the moisture content. There are a number of other factors that have an effect on the dielectric constant, perhaps most notably sample density and temperature. These two factors are measured and corrected for in advanced moisture meters.


How does the amount of humidity effect a hurricane?

The more humid the air the more potential there is for a hurricane to gain strength. Hurricanes get their energy from the latent heat stored in the moisture of the air, which is released when that moisture condenses.


Why dielectric constant of polyethylene is independent of temperature?

it is a polymer in which their is no induction effect and no dipoles are formed within the molecules as all the bonds are of equal strength and therefore no polymerization occurs in contrast to molecules such as pvc

What is the effect of temperature on dielectric constant of a dielectric?

Usually, dielectric materials have permanent dipoles. As temperature increases, the molecules in the dielectric have more thermal energy and therefore, the amplitude of random motion is greater. This means that the molecules are less closely aligned with each other (even in the presence of an electric field). Hence, the dielectric constant reduces.
