dielectric

Insulator or nonconductor of electricity, such as rubber, glass, and paraffin wax. An electric field in a dielectric material gives rise to no net flow of electricity. However, the applied field causes electrons within the material to be displaced, creating an electric charge on the surface of the material. This reduces the field strength within the material by a factor known as the dielectric constant (or relative permittivity) of the material. Dielectrics are used in capacitors, to reduce dangerously strong electric fields, and have optical applications.
