Question

The air space or material between two charged bodies that prevents the discharge of electricity from one body to the other is the

a. insulator.
c. dielectric.
b. medium.
d. conductor.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dielectric is an electrical insulator which when placed in an effective electric field becomes polarized.

Without conduction a dielectric helps in transmitting electric force.

Thus, a dielectric helps in shifting of charges in air space or material between two charged bodies that prevents the discharge of electricity from one body to the other.
