What is a dielectric material? Give two examples.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To define:
Thedielectric material along withtwo examples.
Explanation of Solution
Dielectric material is that type of electrical insulator which is poor conductor of electricity. Dielectric material can be polarized by an applied electric field because of polarization positive charge displaced in the direction of applied electric field and negative charge displaced in opposite direction of applied electric field.
Dielectric materials can able to store electric charges and these electric charges cannot flow through it.

The metal regions are shaded in grey and are made of copper. The solid central wire has radius a = 5mm, the outer tube inner radius b = 20mm and thickness t = 5mm. The dielectric spacer is Teflon, of relative permittivity &r = 2.1 and breakdown strength 350kV/cm. A potential difference of 1kV is applied across the conductors, with centre conductor positive and outer conductor earthed. Before undertaking any COMSOL simulations we'll first perform some theoretical analysis of Cable A based on the EN2076 lectures, to make sense of the simulations. Calculate the radial electric field of cable A at radial positions r b. Also calculate the maximum operating voltage of cable A, assuming a safety margin of ×2, and indicate where on the cable's cross section dielectric breakdown is most likely to occur.arrow_forward: For the gravity concrete dam shown in the figure, the following data are available: The factor of safety against sliding (F.S sliding)=1.2 Unit weight of concrete (Yconc)=24 KN/m³ - Neglect( Wave pressure, silt pressure, ice force and earth quake force) μ=0.65, (Ywater) = 9.81 KN/m³ Find factor of safety against overturning (F.S overturning) 6m3 80m Smarrow_forward
