Dielectric material acts as an insulating medium between two conducting bodies. It has the properties of insulators but shows the effect of the electric field. All-dielectric materials can be called as insulators, but all insulators are not dielectric materials. Because of its insulating properties, dielectrics are used widely in the field of electrical and electronics engineering. This article discusses an overview of dielectric materials, working, types, … [Read more...]
What are Electric Field Lines and Its Properties
Electric field lines may be considered as a visual representation of the electric field existing between or for a charge itself. It was introduced by Michael Faraday in the year (1791-1867) who named them lines of force. A field basically is a function that specifies a particular quantity everywhere in a region. When we say electric field lines, it gives us means of representing the electric field pictorially. By looking into the electric field lines, its … [Read more...]
What is an Electric Field Intensity and Its Calculation
Intensity basically defines the strength of the source like light intensity, which defines the luminosity of light source, electromagnetic field intensity defines the strength of the magnetic field. Similarly, electric field intensity defines the strength of the electric field. This is a vector quantity, which basically means force per unit charge. This parameter is extensively used in the field of electromagnetics, electrostatics, high voltage … [Read more...]
