Question:

A conductor is an extreme case of a dielectric, since if an electric field is applied to a conductor, charges are free to move within the conductor to set up “induced charges.” What is the dielectric constant of a perfect conductor? Is it K = 0, K → ∞, or something in between? Explain your reasoning.
