RC time constant

You introduced 1 Coulomb worth of electrons into the inner volume of a dielectric material with ϵr=6. Thirty minutes later, you found that only 36.79% of the electrons were in the internal volume. Determine the conductivity σ of the dielectric material.

Correct answer:

s =  2.95E-14 S/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Q=1 C ε=6 ε0=8.85 10128.851012 F/m t=30 min s=30 60  s=1800 s p=36.79 % T=t=1800 s  T = R C  C = ε   ε0   S/d = ε   K  T = R  ε   ε0   S/d R = ρ    d/S   T = ρ    d/S   ε   ε0   S/d  T = ρ    ε   ε0  ρ=T/(ε ε0)=1800/(6 8.851012)=33898305084746 Ωm  s=1/ρ=1/33898305084746=2.951014 S/m
