Why is the dielectric constant for metal is infinity? plzz explain with example.

Question

Harishwar · Answer

Dielectric constant (aka relativa permittivity) is a measure of the polarizability of a material. The capability of a material to separate charges inside its body. By definition, vacuum has unitary dielectric constant (= 1). Metals are the most polarizable materials in nature, so their dielectric constant is the highest (= infinite).
Hope this help to practically understand.

Suraj Prasad · Answer

Dielectric constant will tell us how much conductive it is..... metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, so its K value will be infinity. &hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip; &hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;... &hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;. &hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip; &hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.&hellip;.
