What is considered dielectric?
Dielectrics are insulators, plain and simple. The two words refer to the same class of materials, but are of different origin and are used preferentially in different contexts. Since charges tend not to move easily in nonmetallic solids it's possible to have "islands" of charge in glass, ceramics, and plastics.
