If the dielectric constant and dielectric strength be denoted by `K` and `x` respectively, then a material suitable for use as a dielectric in a capacitor must have

A

high `K` and high `x`

B

high `K` and low `x`

C

low `K` and low `x`

D

low `K` and high `x`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

High `K` means good insulating propetry and high `x` means able to withstand electric field gradient to a higher value.
