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.

Which dielectric in this world has highest dielectric constant?

Strontium Titanate has a dielectric constant of 233. TDK in Japan makes Ultra-high Voltage Ceramic Capacitors using this as the dielectric material. Compared to distilled water at 76.7 - 78.2 (lowers as temperature rises). Types of glass can vary between 4 and 10.

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


How water is dielectric constant?

The dielectric constant of water varies with temperature and is approximated by this polynomial equation: E = 87.740 - 0.40008*t + 9.398*(10^-4)*t^2 - 1.410*(10^-6)*t^3


What is the effect of dielectric constant of water on the solubility of the ionic salt?

Water has a very high dielectric constant so when an ionic salt is placed in water it ionizes and water molecules react with ions of solute and make a solution
