WHAT DOES DIELECTRIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dielectric

A dielectric material is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in a conductor, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization. Because of dielectric polarization, positive charges are displaced toward the field and negative charges shift in the opposite direction. This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself. If a dielectric is composed of weakly bonded molecules, those molecules not only become polarized, but also reorient so that their symmetry axis aligns to the field. The study of dielectric properties concerns storage and dissipation of electric and magnetic energy in materials. Dielectrics are important for explaining various phenomena in electronics, optics, and solid-state physics.

Definition of dielectric in the English dictionary

The first definition of dielectric in the dictionary is a substance or medium that can sustain a static electric field within it. Other definition of dielectric is a substance or body of very low electrical conductivity; insulator. Dielectric is also of, concerned with, or having the properties of a dielectric.
