Formulae for Dielectric Constant of Mixtures

Abstract

The major formulae suggested for the dielectric constant of a mixture of two components (at least one of which has the form of particles containing many molecules) are shown to be all related to another. The assumptions made in deriving the differing formulae are examined. The type of formula suggested by Lichtenecker does not fit in this generalization and it is suggested that this is due to incorrect theoretical assumptions.
