Dielectric complex reluctance
Dielectric complex reluctance is a scalar measurement of a passive dielectric circuit dependent on sinusoidal voltage and sinusoidal electric induction flux, and this is determined by deriving the ratio of their complex effective amplitudes. The units of dielectric complex reluctance are .
As seen above, dielectric complex reluctance is a phasor represented as uppercase Z epsilon where:
The "lossless" dielectric reluctance, lowercase z epsilon, is equal to the absolute value of the dielectric complex reluctance. The argument distinguishing the "lossy" dielectric complex reluctance from the "lossless" dielectric reluctance is equal to the natural number raised to a power equal to:
Where:
- is the imaginary unit
- is the phase of voltage
- is the phase of electric induction flux
- is the phase difference
Where:
- is the length of the circuit element
- is the cross-section of the circuit element
- is the ''complex dielectric permeability''
