Q429
Dielectric constant of dry soil is
A.
3 - 6
AnswerB.
4 - 23
C.
20 - 30
D.
None of the above
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The dielectric constant is the ratio of the permittivity of a substance to the permittivity of free space. It is an expression of the extent to which a material concentrates electric flux and is the electrical equivalent of the relative magnetic permeability.The dielectric constant of dry soil varies between 3 - 6 depending on the texture of the soil.
