K

\Kappa

The Greek letter Kappa (\Kappa) is used in various scientific and mathematical contexts. It is often used to represent curvature, dielectric constant, or other specific constants depending on the field of study.

Examples

K = \frac{1}{R}

Curvature of a curve, where R is the radius of curvature.

\Kappa = \frac{1}{R}

ϵ = K ϵ_{0}

Dielectric constant in electromagnetism, where \epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity.

\epsilon = \Kappa \epsilon_0

K (T) = \frac{d σ}{d T}

Thermal conductivity as a function of temperature.

\Kappa(T) = \frac{d\sigma}{dT}
