Activities
Reading
- Read the Wikipedia articles on permittivity and permeability. With the help of the instructor or TA try to achieve a physical understanding of just what the permittivity and permeability mean in a bulk material.
- Read the first three sections of this paper (pages 1-27).
Permittivity of a Lossless Material From a Capacitance Measurement
- Place three samples (air, Teflon, glass) between the aligned and polished ends of two 3/8" diameter, 1/2" lengths of 6061 Al rods. Measure the capacitances and from the known surface area and spacing determine the material's relative permittivity..
