Constant Dielectric Dielectric constant Strength

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the relationship between dielectric constant and dielectric strength in the context of high voltage applications involving wood. While the dielectric constant values for various woods are available, participants note that these two properties are not directly correlated. The challenge lies in converting dielectric constant measurements into dielectric strength, which requires additional data or empirical methods. The conversation emphasizes the need for further research or alternative approaches to obtain dielectric strength values for wood. Understanding these properties is crucial for ensuring safety and effectiveness in high voltage projects.

Hey all, I am currently working on a project with high voltage and wood. I have these values for dielectric constants of certain woods, but I can't seem to figure a way to convert this dielectric constant into dielectric strength. Anyone have a clue?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
