Question 293Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) vacuum. Vacuum is the only known perfect dielectric for the purpose of serving as electrical insulation. This is because a vacuum contains no atoms or molecules, which means there are no charged particles to interact with an electric field. This results in a dielectric with an extremely high dielectric strength and very low losses, making it an ideal insulator. The other options, such as mica, ceramic, and glass, while commonly used as electrical insulators, are not considered perfect dielectrics because they contain atoms or molecules that can interact with electric fields, leading to some level of dielectric loss and reduced insulating properties compared to a vacuum.
