what is the means of dielectric constant ?

Answer:-
Dielectric constant is a property of medium.
Dielectric constant of a medium is defined as the ratio of permitivity of that medium to the permitivity of free space.
Dielectric constant is also known as relative permitivity of the medium.this defination is only valid in C.G.S system.

It is denoted by. K  
I.e
As it is the ratio of two like quantities it is unitless and dimensionless.
More is the dielectric constant of the medium lesser is the Electrostatic force in that medium.
It depends only on the medium on which charges are placed.
