Dielectric Strength Formula: Find it Here!

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The dielectric strength formula is not straightforwardly calculable and typically requires reference to established tables for specific materials. The electric field formula mentioned, E = q/(Er * Eo * A), relates charge (q), relative permittivity (Er), vacuum permittivity (Eo), and area (A) to the electric field (E). For accurate dielectric strength values, consult material-specific tables rather than attempting complex simulations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric fields and charge interactions

What's the formula to calculate it, I've looked everywhere.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can't calculate it (at least not without some very complicated computer simulations, and then only for simple materials).
You have to look up the value in a table.
 
Whats the E field formula that relates to it?

E= q/ErEoA ?
