WHAT DOES ELECTRET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Electret

Electret is a dielectric material that has a quasi-permanent electric charge or dipole polarisation. An electret generates internal and external electric fields, and is the electrostatic equivalent of a permanent magnet. Oliver Heaviside coined this term in 1885. Materials with electret properties were, however, already studied since the early 18th century. One particular example is the electrophorus, a device consisting of a slab with electret properties and a separate metal plate. The electrophorus was originally invented by Johan Carl Wilcke in Sweden and again by Alessandro Volta in Italy.

Definition of electret in the English dictionary

The definition of electret in the dictionary is a permanently polarized dielectric material; its electric field is similar to the magnetic field of a permanent magnet.
