A dielectric is always an insulator. But an insulator is not necessarily a dielectric. State True/False. Correct Answer True

For a material to be dielectric, its permittivity should be very high. This is seen in insulators. For a material to be insulator, the condition is to have large band gap energy. However, this is not necessary for a dielectric.
