Study Notes
Dielectrics
- Dielectric Constant (Relative Permittivity): A material's ability to store electrical energy compared to a vacuum. Higher dielectric constants indicate better insulation and are desirable for maximizing capacitance in capacitors.
- Dielectric Strength: The maximum electric field a material can withstand before experiencing electrical breakdown. Factors like material composition, purity, temperature, and thickness influence this strength.
- Polarization: Dielectrics align their internal electric dipoles when exposed to an electric field, contributing to their charge storage capability.
- Loss Tangent: Represents the ratio of energy dissipated as heat to the energy stored in the dielectric under alternating current conditions. A low loss tangent is preferable for efficient capacitors and insulators.
Factors Influencing Dielectric Strength
- Material Composition: Stronger molecular bonds and high purity generally lead to higher dielectric strengths.
- Purity: Impurities and defects act as weak points promoting electrical breakdown, reducing dielectric strength.
- Thickness: Thicker materials typically withstand higher electric fields before breaking down. However, the specific relationship varies between materials and is described by Paschen's Law for gases.
- Temperature: Dielectric strength often decreases with increasing temperature due to increased molecular motion. While some materials may exhibit improved performance at very low temperatures.
- Rate of Voltage Application: Rapid voltage changes can induce higher electric fields and reduce dielectric strength.
- Frequency: Dielectric strength can vary with frequency in AC applications because of dielectric losses and polarization effects.
- Surface Condition: Surface imperfections, roughness, and contaminants can concentrate electric field intensity, leading to breakdown at lower voltages.
