<p>I think that captures them succinctly</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;dielectric&#039;&#039;&#039; is a material which is an [[insulator]] to [[current]], but is very permeable to [[electric field]]s.<br /> <br /> Their most common use is in [[capacitor]]s; a thin sheet of dielectric between the plates of the capacitor allows them to be as close to each other as possible (thereby maximizing the capacitance), while simultaneously preventing a [[short]] between the two plates from being created accidentally.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> * [https://physics.info/dielectrics/ Dielectrics]<br /> * [https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/dielectric-material Dielectric material]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Electrical Basics]]</div>
