what is dialactric?

spelling is wrong dielectric..

answerAdielectric material(dielectricfor short) is an electricalinsulatorthat can bepolarizedby an appliedelectric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in aconductor, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causingdielectric polarization. Because of dielectric polarization, positive charges are displaced toward the field and negative charges shift in the opposite direction. This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself.[1]If a dielectric is composed of weakly bonded molecules, those molecules not only become polarized, but also reorient so that their symmetry axis aligns to the field.

A dielectric material (dielectric for short) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in a conductor, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarisation. Because of dielectric polarisation, positive charges are displaced toward the field and negative charges shift in the opposite direction. This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself. If a dielectric is composed of weakly bonded molecules, those molecules not only become polarised, but also reorient so that their symmetry axes align to the field..
