ADDITIONAL Q&A

 

1. What are the dielectrics?

Dielectrics are insulating materials, in which all the electrons are bound to their parent molecules and there are no free charges. Even with normal voltage or thermal energy, electrons are not released.

 

2. What are the types of dielectrics?

Types of Dielectrics

Based on the applications, there are two types of dielectric materials.

(i) Active dielectrics (Ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics and pyroelectrics).

(ii )Passive dielectrics (electrical insulating materials)

 

3. What are active dielectrics?

Active dielectrics are the materials which are used to generate, amplify, modulate and convert the electrical signals. They are used to store electrical energy.

 

4. What are passive dielectrics?

The function of the insulating material is to obstruct the flow of electric current.
