Definitions and meanings of "Dielectric"

What do we mean by dielectric?

A nonconductor of electricity, especially a substance with electrical conductivity of less than a millionth (10−6) of a siemens. noun

Transmitting electric effects without conduction; nonconducting.

A substance through or across which electric force is acting. noun

Any substance or medium that transmits the electric force by a process different from conduction, as in the phenomena of induction; a nonconductor, separating a body electrified by induction, from the electrifying body. noun

An electrically insulating or nonconducting material considered for its electric susceptibility, i.e. its property of polarization when exposed to an external electric field. noun

Insulating adjective

A material such as glass or porcelain with negligible electrical or thermal conductivity noun

An electrically insulating or nonconducting material considered for its electric susceptibility, i.e. its property of polarization when exposed to an external electric field.
