Dielectric reluctance

Dielectric reluctance is a term used in the study of electrical circuits, particularly in relation to capacitors and dielectric materials. It is analogous to resistance in electrical circuits but applies specifically to the characteristics of dielectric materials in capacitive systems. In basic terms, dielectric reluctance measures how much a dielectric material opposes the flow of electric field lines through it. It is a factor that influences the ability of a dielectric material to store electric energy when subjected to an electric field.
