dielectric material

dielectric material

"Dielectric material" is equivalent to "insulator." In a dielectric material, no free electrons exist or all electrons are bound to atoms or molecules. When an electric field is applied to a dielectric material, no electric current flows because of no free electrons in the material, but positive and negative charges are created on one surface and the other surface due to dielectric polarization, electric energy being stored.
