Electrical Characteristics and Relationship with Moisture One measure of a material's electrical characteristics is the complex dielectric constant, defined as a measure of the ability of a material (vegetation, soil, rock, water, ice) to conduct electrical energy. Dry surface materials have dielectric constants from 3 to 8 in
