Question

Is Copper a dielectric?


Open in App
Solution

  1. No, copper is not a dielectric.
  2. The conductivity of the material has a direct effect on the dielectric constant.
  3. The dielectric constant of a good conductor, such as a metal, is infinitely high.
  4. This is due to the material's high concentration of free electrons.
  5. In contrast, insulators have a lower dielectric constant than other materials.

Dielectric: A dielectric (also known as a dielectric material or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field in electromagnetism.

Hence, the given statement is false.
