Do both conductors and insulators allow electric fields through and why?
DaleSpam said:No, conductors block EM waves. That is the principle behind a Faraday cage.
Godwin Kessy said:hey! Isnt that all about faradays cage is the principle under gaussians law, and by the way why conductors don't allow electric field pass through as the insulators do?
Electric field permitivity, also known as the permittivity of free space, is a physical constant that describes the ability of a material to store an electric field.
Electric field permitivity is measured using a unit called farads per meter (F/m). This unit represents the amount of electric flux that can be stored in a material per unit of electric field strength.
Electric field permitivity and electric field strength are inversely proportional. This means that as the electric field strength increases, the electric field permitivity decreases and vice versa.
Electric field permitivity determines the strength and extent of an electric field in a material. Materials with higher electric field permitivity can store more electric flux, resulting in a stronger and more extensive electric field.
Electric field permitivity is important in many areas of scientific research, including electromagnetism, electronics, and materials science. It helps scientists understand and predict the behavior of electric fields in different materials, which is crucial for developing new technologies and materials.
