Dielectric Materials – Questions and Answers

1. What is a dielectric material? State their property. Dielectrics are the insulating materials having electric dipole moment permanently or temporarily by applying the electric field. These are mainly used to store electrical energy and used as electrical insulators. All dielectrics are electrical insulators. But all electrical insulators need not to be dielectrics. Dielectrics are
