Thickness of Dielectric

Go Thickness of Dielectric = (Relative Permittivity*8.85*10^-12*Surface Area)/(4*pi*Capacitance of Dielectric)

Capacitance Dielectric

Go Capacitance of Dielectric = (Relative Permittivity*8.85*10^-12*Surface Area)/(4*pi*Thickness of Dielectric)

Dielectric Loss

Go Power Loss = Voltage^2/(2*Capacitive Reactance)*sin(2*Phase Difference)

Power Loss Density

Go Power Density = Frequency*Complex Relative Permittivity*8.85418782*10^-12*Electric Field Strength^2

Net Resistance

Go Resistance = Capacitive Reactance/Loss Tangent

Loss Tangent

Go Loss Tangent = Capacitive Reactance/Resistance

Loss Tangent Formula

Loss Tangent = Capacitive Reactance/Resistance
tan δ = X_c/R

How the loss tangent depend on frequency?

The variation of tan δ with frequency will demonstrate normal resonance behaviour. The curves of tan δ contain the largest value in the region of frequencies here is a sharp change in the dielectric constant. In case of ionic resonance it change in the dielectric constant arises from microwave to infrared areas of frequencies.
