The ratio of conduction to displacement current density is referred to as

A)
Dielectric constant
B)
Attenuation constant
C)
Loss tangent
D)
Propagation constant

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Loss tangent


Explanation : Jc /Jd is a standard ratio, which is referred to as loss tangent given by σ /ε ω. The loss tangent is used to determine if the material is a conductor or dielectric.
