title: Kinetic dielectric decrements and conducting liquids.
abstract: We have calculated influence of ion migration on the measured dielectric constant of an electrolyte solution. The solvent is assumed to be a viscous, incompressible, polarizable liquid continuum having a finite dielectric relaxation time, while the ion is a rigid, impenetrable body. The decrement in the static permitivity of the solution with respect to the pure solvent is shown to be proportional to the product of solvent dielectric relaxation time and conductivity of the solution, with an additional contribution arising from viscous relaxation in the solvent.
