ceramic is a bad conductor of electricity, therefore it is an insulator.

No ceramics are not conductive. They are simply clay that has been fired at a very high temperature.

What material through which electricity does not flow is called an?

Insulator, or insulation, or non-conductive material. Wood, plastic and ceramic are examples of non-conductive material often used as insulators.


What is the difference between monolithic ceramic and mutilayer ceramic capacitors?

Ceramic Multilayer vs Monolithic CapacitorBoth multilayer and monolithic capacitors have multiple layers. The main difference between the two is the manufacturing process. Monolithic capacitors have a paste of ceramic material applied between the conductive layers. After this paste is applied the capacitors are then baked. Multilayer capacitors have the ceramic material sprayed onto the conductive layers. This generally means that monolithic capacitors can't go as high in capacitance because the amount of layers is limited due to their manufacturing process.


Does ferrite conduct electricity?

Ferrites are materials that are ceramic and contain iron oxide. They are not considered to be conductive and are brittle.


Difference between ceramic and electrolytic capacitors?

In ceramic capacitors the dielectric is a thin layer of ceramic and both plates are metal foil. These capacitors are unpolarized. These capacitors have negligible internal inductance or resistance.In electrolytic capacitors the dielectric is an ultra thin layer of corrosion on the surface of a metal foil plate and the other plate is an electrolyte paste. These capacitors are polarized and if connected backwards are likely to explode. These capacitors have significant internal inductance, making them bad filters of noise in the MHz range and above which requires ceramic capacitors.


Is a ceramic cup a better insulator than a glass cup?

Hi, the question is ambiguous. There are conductive plastics (cfr, antistatic bubble packs. these bags/mats have one side which is (albeit with high resistance), conductive) so as to harmlessly bleed static. Ceramics can have high/very high resistance insofar they are usable as insulator. Other mixes, or doped/contaminated ceramics can be conductive. A lathe chisel cutting bit can be a ceramic, it is harder than "widia", but it is conductive. (widia is a sintered metals oxides mix, not a ceramic) Enamel is a ceramic, and that too is conductive. (you can draw a static spark on an enamel surface on a gas range.) Static, it can build up to a very high voltage with low potency, it can kill consumergoods like PC motherboards. The person may not even feel it happenned, yet the discharge happened and the component touched cannot dissipate the high voltage fast enough so it dies. (PC components running on 1.5V getting over a 1.000V burst, par example. One should know static can be as high as 80.000V when the person has been wearing insulator clothing.) See what I mean?
