dielectric
Capacitor's insulating layer
A dielectric is a material that does not conduct electricity but can sustain an electric field—an insulator.
Dielectrics are essential in capacitors, where they separate the charged plates and increase storage capacity.
The term appears in physics and electrical engineering: dielectric constant, dielectric strength.
As an adjective, it describes this insulating property: dielectric materials.
