Abstract:
The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with a dielectric material gives a complex quantity. The real part indicates dielectric permittivity or dielectric gain and the imaginary part is the magnetic susceptibility or dielectric loss. This complex study of polar liquids in a binary mixture gives information regarding frequency dispersion in dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss. The static dielectric indicates that the electric charge distribution in the material can be distorted or polarized by applying an electric field. An alternating electric field of appropriate frequency gives rise to dielectric dispersion; the characteristic orientation motions of the dipoles result in a frequency variation of the dielectric constant and the appearance of dielectric loss over a broadband of frequencies.
