What are polar dielectrics?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Dielectrics**: Dielectrics are insulating materials that do not conduct electricity but can support an electrostatic field. They are used in capacitors and other electrical applications. 2. **Understanding Polar Molecules**: Polar molecules are molecules that have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other end. This separation of charge creates a dipole moment. An example of a polar molecule is water (H2O), which has a positive hydrogen end (H+) and a negative oxygen end (OH-). ...
