Relative Permitttivity & Relative Permeability Dependency

AI Thread Summary
Relative permittivity (εr) and relative permeability (μr) can be related through the phase velocity (v) of electromagnetic radiation in a material, where εrμr = 1/εoμov². To find μr when εr is known, the phase velocity must be determined, which is calculated as v = c/n, with n being the refractive index. If the phase velocity is unknown, it complicates the calculation of μr. The discussion also touches on whether all materials possess relative permittivity, relative permeability, and refractive index as inherent properties. Understanding these relationships is crucial in material science and electromagnetic theory.

Hi Everyone,

I want to know that is there anyway to relate the relative permittivity (εr) & relative permeability (μr) ?... I am having relative permittivity of an material & i want to find out its relative permeability ...

Like if εr = 2.2, then μr = ?...

Please reply ...

welcome to pf!

hi ubabmar! welcome to pf! :smile:

if v (= c/n) is the phase velocity of electromagnetic radiation in the material, then …

ε = εrεo

µ = µrµo

εµ = 1/v2

so εrµr = 1/εoµov2 = (c/v)2 :wink:

Hi Tiny-tim ...
Thank You for your reply ...
Yeah, your answer is giving me the relation but if i don't know the 'v' (Phase Velocity of EM radiation) then do this problem has any method ?...
Please ...
 
v is the speed of light in the material …

(equal to c/n, where n is the refractive index)

you do need to know it :wink:

Thankyou tiny-tim ...
I got the answer ...
But a general question that really all the materials posses all these properties ...
The Parameters are,
1. Relative Permittivity,
2. Relative Permeability,
3. Refractive index.
