We can define complex permitivity of any medium as
And the loss tangent as
The question that I have is for good conductors. I read that for good conductors, we are dominated by σ rather than displacement current, which makes sense. What I don't get it, for good conductors, ε''>>ε'. Why is that? I understand ε'' is dominant but ε' (=ε0εr -> ∞ since εr -> ∞ for good conductors). What's the fallacy in this logic?

Code:
