Why water has very high dielectric constant?

What is dielectric Constant?

Fill ups: Water has very………………….dielectric constant.

Answer carefully: Guess a possible reason why water has a much greater dielectric constant (= 80) than say, mica (= 6).

What is the unit of dielectric constant?

In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance increases from 4 muF to 80muF no introduicng a dielectric medium between the plates. What is the dielectric constant of the medium?

Why does water have high boiling point?
