Capacitors are used in many engineering applications, but one of their important properties is that this device can store energy. The ratio of the capacitance of the capacitor when the dielectric C is introduced and when the plates are separated by the vacuum C0 is called the dielectric constant K of the material. The dielectric constant of a material also called static relative permittivity is a measure of the amount of electrostatic flux in a material, this dimensionless quantity is a property of the material and its value affects the capacitance of a capacitor, This article presents the experimental measurement of capacitance in a parallel plate capacitor and a cylindrical one where inside was placed dry paper and common glass which are compared with the theoretical data, while an applet is developed in GeoGebra of these two cases and finally a cylíndrica capacitor with dielectric constant K is simulated in QuickField.
