Dielectric Loss
• For a lossy (imperfect) dielectric the dielectric
constant can be represented by a complex
relative dielectric constant:
g = e:ll-~E
• The imaginary part of this complex dielectric
constant, E at a frequency, (l) is equivalent to a
frequency-dependent conductivity, a( co), given
by:
Dielectric Loss
• €"is also known as the loss factor.
• The small difference in phase from ideal behaviour is
defined by an angle 0, defined through the equation

Dielectric Strength
• Dielectric materials are insulators (conduction cannot
generally occur).
• However, under certain conditions, dielectric materials
can break down and conduct a significant current.
• Generally, the lattice of a dielectric has sufficient strength
to absorb the energy from impacting electrons that are
accelerated by the applied electric field.
• However, under a sufficiently large electric field, some
electrons present in the dielectric will have sufficient
kinetic energy to ionize the lattice atoms causing an
avalanching effect.
• As a result, the dielectric will begin to conduct a
significant amount of current.
Dielectric Strength
• This phenomenon is called dielectric breakdown and the
corresponding field intensity is referred to as the
dielectric breakdown strength.
• Dielectric strength may be defined as the maximum
potential gradient to which a material can be subjected
without insulating breakdown, that is
