    Experiment Name:: Measurement of Dielectric Constant

    The document describes two methods for measuring the dielectric constant of a substance: the bridge method and resonance method. The bridge method uses a Schering bridge circuit to measure capacitance between parallel plates containing the sample material. The resonance method connects the sample capacitor in a resonant circuit and measures the resonant frequency to determine capacitance and dielectric constant. Both methods allow calculating the dielectric constant by comparing the sample's capacitance to a reference material like air. The bridge method is more suitable for audio frequencies from 50Hz to 100KHz. The resonance method derives the dielectric constant from the fundamental resonant frequency of the dielectric resonator.

    Experiment name: Measurement of Dielectric Constant

    Theory:

    The dielectric constant of a substance can be defined as the ratio of the permittivity of the substance to the
    permittivity of the free space. It expresses the extent to which a material can hold electric flux in it.

    It can be performed using various laboratory techniques, including the bridge method with an oscillator
    detector & the resonance method.

    Method-1: Bridge method

    A very important bridge used for the precision measurement of capacitors and their insulating properties
    such as dielectric constant is the Schering Bridge Experiment.

    Equipment :

    1. An impedance bridge circuit


    2. An oscilloscope
    3. A capacitance meter or a digital multimeter (DMM)
    4. The sample material
    5. A reference material with a known dielectric constant, such as air or a vacuum.

    Figure: Schering bridge


    Procedure:

    The parallel plate arrangement of the relative permeability is mathematically expressed as,
    ∈s = 𝐶s𝑑/ ∈0 𝐴

    Where Cs is the capacitance measured value considering specimen as dielectric on specimen capacitance,
    d is the space between electrodes ,A is the electrode effective area, d is the specimen thickness, x is the
    reduction in separation between electrodes % specimen and so ∈0 is the permeability of the free space.
    𝐶 = 𝐶s𝐶0 / (𝐶s +𝐶0)
    So,
    𝐶 =((∈r ∈0 𝐴/d)*( ∈0 𝐴/t))/ ((∈r ∈0 𝐴)+( ∈0 𝐴/t))

    The mathematical expression to reduce the specimen is shown below.


    ∈r =𝑑/(𝑑 – 𝑥)

    This is the explanation of the measurement of relative permeability with the Schering bridge.

    Method-2: Resonance Method

    Equipment :

    1. A function generator
    2. An LCR meter or impedance analyzer
    3. A sample material
    4. A reference material with a known dielectric constant, such as air or a vacuum.

    Figure: Resonant circuit


    Procedure:

    Here, the resonance method for increasing impedance is described. In this method the condenser is
    Connected in series with an circuit an inductance L in a resonant circuit as the condenser, connected with
    an inductance L is a simple Parallel plate condenser. The current in circuit can be indicated by a high
    impedance-voltmeter across the condenser whose capacitance is than obtained from the frequency at
    resonance, to the following equation,
    L
    C=
    √2 πf
    Here L & f0 are known

    We know that
    ∈=¿ C/C0

    By this equation , we can found out the dielectric constant of textile fiber.

    Conclusion:

    Bridge method is well-known and the equipment are available. This method is more suitable at audio
    frequencies from about 50Hz to 100KHz)

    In the resonance method, the dielectric constant is extracted from the dielectric resonator’s resonance
    frequency. The dielectric constant was derived from the lowest resonance frequency (fundamental
    mode) .
