Source sentences:
text: When used in a direct current or DC circuit, a capacitor charges up to its supply voltage but blocks the flow of current through it because the dielectric of a capacitor is non-conductive and basically an insulator.
text: During this process of charging, the electrons move through the DC supply but not through the dielectric which is an insulator.
text: The dielectric is actually an insulator.
text: Capacitors store charge in a dielectric which is always an insulator.
