Relative Dielectric Constant Calculator for a Circular Capacitor

   The relative dielectric constant (εr) of the dielectric in a parallel plate, circular capacitor can be calculated using the following formula.

[calculation formula]

Where    r = Radius in cm                                 

    C = Capacitance in pico Farads

  d = Dielectric thickness in cm

The calculator is intended for use with the Accurate Method for Measuring Relative Dielectric Constant of a PCB Using a Vector Network Analyser.

Enter the value of the capacitor:   pF
Enter the radius of the circle :    cm
Enter the thickness of the dielectric :    mm Relative Dielectric Constant (εr)
