The ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor in which the space between and around the electrodes is entirely and exclusively filled with the insulating material in question to the capacitance of the same configuration of electrodes in vacuum. 6, record 1, English, - relative%20permittivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
dielectric constant [is] the ratio of the electrical capacity of a condenser containing the material of the capacity of the same condenser with material replaced by a vacuum. It is a measure of ability of a material to maintain a difference in electrical charge over any specified distance. 7, record 1, English, - relative%20permittivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Since many acid-base reactions involve an increase or decrease in the number of ions, they are also influenced by the dielectric constant of the solvent, for a higher dielectric constant favours the formation of ions. 8, record 1, English, - relative%20permittivity

La constante diélectrique [est l']indice de la capacité d'une substance à résister à la transmission d'une force électrostatique; plus cette valeur est faible, plus la résistance est élevée. À 20°C, la constante diélectrique de l'air est de 1 et celle de l'eau, de 80. 6, record 1, French, - permittivit%C3%A9%20relative
