Dielectrics differ from conductors because they have:
APositive ions only
BA higher potential
CNo free charge carriers
DMore free electrons
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. No free charge carriers
1. Dielectrics are non-conducting substances.
2. Their charges cannot move freely.
3. They have no or negligible charge carriers.
