Insulating and Dielectric Materials Quiz

Temperature, humidity, viscosity, and porosity are the factors affecting mechanical strength of insulating materials.

Mechanical strength is an important requirement for insulating materials because they should possess sufficient strength to withstand mechanical stresses in different applications.

High temperature badly affects the mechanical strength of insulating materials.
