Question

Is silver a dielectric?

Answer 1

Silver is a dielectric, In the presence of an electric field, dielectrics become polarized, They are used to boost the capacitance of the capacitor.

Dielectric: Dielectrics are materials that do not conduct electricity well.

1. They are insulators that have no free electrons.
2. When an electric field is applied to dielectrics, they easily become polarized.
3. As a result, their behavior in an electric field is quite different from that of conductors.

Hence, silver is a dielectric.
