Definitions [2]
Definition: Dielectric Constant
The ratio of the permittivity of a medium to the permittivity of vacuum.
K = ε / ε₀
OR
Dielectric constant is the factor by which the capacitance of a capacitor increases when a dielectric is completely inserted between its plates.
Definition: Permittivity of a Medium
The product of vacuum permittivity and dielectric constant of the medium.
ε = ε₀K
