Dielectric in a sentence as a noun

And the dielectric constant of ionized air is quite small.

Microwave ovens work on the principle of dielectric heating.

The dielectric constant of sapphire seems to be better than glass[1] for this type of application, so it should be okay.

Which is mostly limited by the dielectric constant of the wire's insulator.

Historically the limit on voltage has been the dielectric constant for air.

Personally I'd go all EE on it and shove a modest AC signal thru a big capacitor and get the dielectric constant of the "stuff" in the cup.

Since the dielectric constant is a function of distance, when the breaker first opens there is an arc because, the current really really wants to keep flowing.

About tthe first paragraph, that's exactly what it is doing.> These electrons are zigzagging through the air as they meet paths of easier passage through the air--paths with a lower dielectric strength.

If you consider that this potential difference is applied across the 3 nano-meter thick cell membrane, the resulting electric field is very close to the dielectric breakdown voltage for phospholipid membranes.

The authors argue that, in a dielectric medium, light can induce an electric dipole moment in the direction of the light propagation by shifting the average location of atomic electrons in that direction.

The link itself addresses this:Overtightening of cable management bindings can cause conductor breakage, insulation damage, excessive chafing, and deformations between the conductive, dielectric, and shield parts of a cable, and no doubt a host of other issues.
