FAQs on PPT: Dielectrics - Electromagnetic Fields Theory (EMFT) - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is a dielectric material?
Ans. A dielectric material is an insulating substance that does not conduct electric current easily. It is commonly used in capacitors to separate the conducting plates and prevent direct contact.
2. How does a dielectric affect the capacitance of a capacitor?
Ans. The presence of a dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor increases its capacitance. This is because the dielectric reduces the electric field strength, allowing more electric flux to pass through and store more charge.
3. Can a dielectric material be conductive?
Ans. No, a dielectric material is typically an insulator and does not conduct electric current. However, there are some special cases where certain dielectric materials exhibit a small level of conductivity.
4. What are some commonly used dielectric materials?
Ans. Some commonly used dielectric materials include paper, mica, ceramic, glass, and various types of plastics such as polyester, polypropylene, and polystyrene. Each material has different dielectric properties suitable for different applications.
5. How does the dielectric constant affect the energy storage capacity of a capacitor?
Ans. The dielectric constant, also known as relative permittivity, determines the ability of a dielectric material to store electrical energy. A higher dielectric constant corresponds to a greater energy storage capacity in a capacitor, as it increases the amount of charge that can be stored for a given voltage.
