Question

Can an electric field pass through an insulator?

Answer 1

Electric Field:

1. An electric field is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them.

2. When Electric field is applied to insulator, it polarises the molecules or atoms or material.

3. Yes, an electric field can pass through an insulator. The electric field polarises the insulator or dielectric material as it passes through them.
