Apparatus Required:
Basic Theory:
C
Dielectric constant of the material is given by:
C0
C – Capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor using the sample as dielectric medium
0 A
C0 – Capacitance with vacuum as the dielectric medium; C0
t
Procedure:
1. BaTiO3 sample is kept on the Al foil and is connected to the spring loaded probes.
One probe is in contact with the sample and the other is in touch with the Al foil. This
forms a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric in between two metal plates.
2. Connect the probe leads to capacitance meter.
