Would an inductor work differently under a different dielectric environment?
I am talking about these common rounded inductors with a metal core that you would find on PCBs.
Would the operation be different in, say, mineral oil vs. air? These are two different dielectric ...

BIL, Dielectric Breakdown, Shrink Wrap, and Safety. Is there a resource for this information?
I am currently working with a system that produces high voltage transients for system testing, and have some cables that need to be made/modified to work with some new equipment.
The operating ...

HF characteristics of Liquid Electrical Tape
Some self-wound toroid inductors from a HF-radio kit are sitting a bit too loose on their PCB for my liking; they stand upright and are only held in place by the thin enamel-coated inductor wire that ...

High voltage dielectric breakdown & layering insulators
I’m going to use 230 kV as the reference voltage for the example below;
I know if I put a piece of metal too close to a 230 kV source it will breakdown the air and jump to the piece of metal causing a ...

Material with fairly high resistivity, but allows flow of charge
Is there a material with fairly high resistivity (at least semi-conductor level), but also allows the flow of charge through it (and subsequently to the ground)? The flow of charge does not need to be ...

Mutually Insulated Circuit
I am reading through a HIPOT / Dielectric Strength requirement that states in no so many words: "withstand damage when 1KVac is applied between all mutually insulated circuits"
I search every where ...

Help me understand dielectrics
So, they're insulators or poor/non-conductors of electricity.
Yet somehow they are also capable of holding and/or transmitting an electrical charge.
Does that not seem like a crazy paradox, ...
