I assume you mean insulators, which are vital for all sorts of purposes for housing conduit, eliminating or minimizing shock hazards. These are also called Dielectrics. One common substance- Waxed Paper has the very high dielectric of 540,000 Volts per cubic centimeter. so it makes sense to eat lunch in the generator room- maybe this was discovered accidentally. it was known in l909 as an old technical magazine of mine states it as a fact.

What are bound charges?

Bound charges are electrical charges that are not free to move throughout a material but are instead associated with atoms or molecules within a dielectric or polarized material. They arise when an external electric field polarizes the material, causing a separation of positive and negative charges at the atomic level. This results in the formation of dipoles, which contribute to the material's overall electric polarization. Bound charges are significant in understanding the behavior of dielectrics in electric fields, as they influence the material's response to applied voltages.


What material allows electric current to pass through?

Electric current flows in conducting materials such as metals. The best conductor of electric current is silver, followed closely by copper and then aluminium.


Is it possible for electric flux to have a negative value?

Yes, electric flux can have a negative value if the electric field and the area vector have opposite directions.


What is an electric conductor and insulator?

An electrical insulator is a material that resists electric current, and will not allow it to flow easily. Examples include glass and most ceramics. An electrical conductor is a material that offers very little resistance to electric current, allowing it to flow freely and easily. Most metals make excellent electrical conductors.


What electron has a electric charge?

How does the electric field direction change from positive to negative in a given system?

In a given system, the electric field direction changes from positive to negative when the source of the electric field changes its charge from positive to negative.


Can a negative electric field attracts negative charges?

No it cant


What is the build up of a positive or negative electric charge on a materials surface?

A positive or negative electric charge can build up on a material's surface through the gain or loss of electrons. This can occur through processes such as friction, induction, or conduction, where electrons are transferred between materials, resulting in an accumulation of charge.


What is the device used to store an electric charge?

A capacitor is a device used to store an electric charge. It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, typically air or a dielectric material. When a voltage is applied across the plates, one plate accumulates positive charge while the other accumulates negative charge, storing energy in an electric field.
