It is the same everywhere and in all directions.
For an insulating material dielectric strength and dielectric loss should be respectively high or low
Thermal loss in dielectric heating
This depends on the particular dielectric. Each has a different breakdown strength.
A dielectric material is a substance that is a poor conductor of electricity, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields
If the temperature increases, the conductivity will increase too which means the dielectric constant is reduced
yes
It is the same everywhere and in all directions.
YES IT IS. Any quantity which is ratio of two physical quantities having same unit is dimensionless. Dielectric constant is ratio of Permittivty of medium to the permittivity of free space. As Permittivity of medium and permittivity of free space both have same units(F/m ie Farad/meter) dielectric constant becomes dimensionless quantity
In the electric field inside the dielectric (or insulating) medium separating the two plates
Air insulated substation means air acts as the dielectric medium but in case of gas insulated substation SF6 is the dielectric medium. Gas insulated substations are having more advantages than air insulated substations.
Between the two plates of a capacitor lies a medium with a specific dielectric constant. Placing a fish between these plates changes to dielectric constant. If the fish is fresh it will be strong and tight, thus possessing a higher dielectric constant. If the fish is older, it's dielectric constant, or body, will be weaker due to decay.
It is because when a dielectric is placed between the charges , the dielectric gets polarized and the net electric field between the two charges decreases, hence force = charge x electric field also decreases. john
A capacitor consists of two plates (foils ...) separated by an insulating medium. The insulating medium may be air, oil, a plastic film, and so on, and is known as the dielectric. The charge on the capacitor is actually stored by slightly distorting the molecules in the dielectric. The quality of a dielectric is measured by a factor known as K, and a higher K means that the molecule can store a larger distortion. When we discharge the capacitor, the molecules are allowed to relax to their uncharged state.
Water is a fine dielectric. One of the main issues is that it ionizes certain materials. If it comes in contact with metals, some ions may be leached into the water. This thus raises the conductivity of the water. Good dielectrics are bad conductors. This helps the capacitor store more charge. If the water becomes conductive, it fails as a good dielectric.
In physics, a dielectric is an insulating (or very poorly conducting) material. The material can be solid, liquid or gaseous. When a voltage difference is applied to top and bottom of a cylinder filled with a dielectric, no current will flow inside the cylinder because, unlike metals, a dielectric has no free-or loosely bound-electrons that can drift through the material. Instead, electric polarization occurs. The positive charges within the dielectric are displaced minutely in the direction of lower voltage, and the negative charges are displaced minutely in the opposite direction. When the molecules constituting the dielectric are polar (like water molecules), the molecules will align in the field, thus contributing to the electric polarization. Inside the cylinder no net charge density will arise because the charges in adjacent volume elements cancel. However, at the top and bottom of the cylinder an uncanceled surface charge will appear, and this surface charge (positive at the low voltage side and negative at the high voltage side) will oppose the electric field associated with the voltage difference. Thus, the polarization of the dielectric reduces the electric field inside the dielectric. Dielectric material is characterized by an intrinsic property called relative permittivity, usually denoted by εr (formerly this was known as the dielectric constant). The relative permittivity describes the ease of the polarization of the material and determines the size of the surface charge densities at the top and bottom of the cylinder. The Coulomb force between two permanent electric point charges placed inside a dielectric medium is 1/εr smaller than it would be in a vacuum due to the polarization of the dielectric medium by the point charges. The quantity of electric energy stored per unit volume of a dielectric medium is proportional to εr. The capacitance of a capacitor filled with a dielectric is a factor εr greater than it would be in vacuum.

the dielectric placed between the positive and negative plates of a capacitor prevents the collapse of plates due to so strong attractive forces between them and retains the potential difference between the plates.....
