Yes possible. As a capacitor even with air as dielectric allows alternating current to pass through the capacitor filled with some material as dielectric would allow current to pass through it

Can a dielectric be a conductor as well?

No, a dielectric and a conductor are two different types of materials. A dielectric is an insulating material that can store and transmit electric energy, while a conductor is a material that allows electricity to pass through it easily.


What is dielectric material?

A dielectric material is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. It does not conduct electricity, but it can store electric energy as a result of its polarization. Dielectric materials are commonly used in capacitors to store and release electrical energy.


What is the difference between a microstrip line and a stripline?

Microstrip line is a transmission line where the conductor is on the top layer of a dielectric substrate, while the ground plane is below the substrate. Stripline, on the other hand, has the signal conductor sandwiched between two layers of dielectric material with ground planes on both sides. Stripline typically offers better isolation and higher performance compared to microstrip due to the shielding effect of the dielectric layers.


is mica an conductor or insulator?

Mica is an insulator. It has high dielectric strength and low electrical conductivity, making it a good insulating material for electronics and electrical applications.


What is the difference between conductor and dielectric?

Conductors conduct electricity or heat, energy a Dielectric is essentially an insulator.This has nothing to do with juvenile literature. by the way, waxed paper has a Dielectric of 540,00 Volts per Cubic centimeter, as determined by l909 engineering manuals. I will not reveal how I learned that!

What happens to the charge of a capacitor when a dielectric slab is fit in it?

Changing the dielectric causes the capacitance to change.


What happens when dielectric breakdown occurs?

The dielectric,usually the insulator between the plates of a capacitor, can be overstressed by the application of too high voltages applied to the capacitor plates. The dielectric breaks down and a current flows between the plates until,either they are discharged, or an equilibrium is reached,below the working voltage of the capacitor. If the dielectric is damaged in this process he capacitor must be replaced. Some dielectric material self heal and can recover from an over voltage.


What is the definition of the term dielectric?

'Dielectric' is often used in a general sense to refer to a material (such as ceramic, mica, plastic or paper) which is a poor conductor of electricity. This term is used in the classical description of a capacitor -- two electric conductors separated by a dielectric. By applying electric charge to one conductor an electric field is created. The dielectric allows the electric field to pass through it and affect the other conductors; however the dielectric prevents electrons from flowing between the conductors, so the electric field remains (and the charge remains stored on the conductor). [Side note for beginners: An electric field creates a force (measured in Volts) upon an electron or charged particle which tends to make it move. The conductor allows electrons to move easily within it. The dielectric resists the movement of electrons in it.] More generally, we speak of a 'Dielectric Field' as a mathematic description of how electric charge influences the properties of the space around it. The Dielectric field interacts with space and with any material in the space to create an 'Electric Field'. In simple terms, the electric field at any point is the product of the dielectric field at that point and the 'Dielectric Constant' of the material at that point. In more general terms, the 'electric field vector' at a point is the tensor product of the 'dielectric field vector' and the 'dielectric tensor' of the material at that point. The dielectric field is not a measurable entity, but rather a mathematical tool that allows us accurately to model the electric field, which is measurable. The article on Dielectrics at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric provides more description, especially on the dielectric field model.

What is the dielectric constant of Silver?

The dielectric constant of silver is approximately 5.86. This value represents the ability of silver to store electrical energy in an electric field. Silver is a good conductor of electricity, so its dielectric constant is relatively low compared to insulating materials.


What is function of coaxial?

coaxial cable has a solid copper or copper-clad-steel centre conductor surrounded by a non-conductive dielectric insulating material. The dielectric is surrounded by foil shield/s and/or copper braid/s which form the outer conductor and also shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The outer conductor/shield is encased in a PVC jacket.

Microstrip line is a transmission line where the conductor is on the top layer of a dielectric substrate, while the ground plane is below the substrate.

Which is the best electrical insulator?

According to a few charts I was able to find, the most realistic material with the highest dielectric strength happens to be Mica, with dielectric strength of 118.


What happens to charge and potential difference and capacitance in the presence of dielectric when the battery is disconnected from the capacitors?

The capacitor will hold the charge, until it leaks off due to resistances in the dielectric or external.
