    Undergrad Dielectric constant, metals, frequency a bit confused

    How effective a dielectric is at allowing a capacitor to store more charge depends on the material the dielectric is made from. Every material has a dielectric constant k. This is the ratio of the field without the dielectric (Eo) to the net field (E) with the dielectric: k = Eo/E E is always...
