	dielectric command :h3

	[Syntax:]

	dielectric value :pre

	value = dielectric constant :ul

	[Examples:]

	dielectric 2.0 :pre

	[Description:]

	Set the dielectric constant for Coulombic interactions (pairwise and
	long-range) to this value. The constant is unitless, since it is used
	to reduce the strength of the interactions. The value is used in the
	denominator of the formulas for Coulombic interactions - e.g. a value
	of 4.0 reduces the Coulombic interactions to 25% of their default
	strength. See the "pair_style"_pair_style.html command for more
	details.

	[Restrictions:] none

	[Related commands:]
