Dielectric Constant Kit
Product Code : JA-PLE-7948
The Dielectric Constant Kit (SKU JA-PLE-7948) is supplied by JaincoLab for measuring the dielectric constant of solid materials in college physics and engineering laboratories. The dielectric constant is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor filled with the material to its capacitance with vacuum between the plates, and this kit finds it for low-range samples such as glass and Bakelite and for a high-range PZT disc, making it a practical set-up for the dielectric constant of solids experiment.
Specifications
The set-up has a main unit with a 1 kHz audio oscillator, a 0 to 9.99 V digital voltmeter, a standard capacitance and electronic circuitry, low-range samples of glass and Bakelite, a high-range PZT disc sample, and two dielectric cells made from 75 mm and 25 mm gold-plated brass discs.

Experiments with the dielectric constant kit
Students place each sample between the plates of the appropriate dielectric cell, compare the resulting capacitance with the standard, and calculate the dielectric constant as the ratio of the capacitance with the dielectric to that of the empty cell.
