(Note that such electrical conductors are sometimes referred to as “electrodes,” but more correctly, they are “capacitor plates.”) The space between capacitors may simply be a vacuum, and, in that case, a capacitor is then known as a “vacuum capacitor.” However, the space is usually filled with an insulating material known as a dielectric.

This section describes the properties of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium in regard to the electric field, electric potential, and surface charge density both inside and on the surface of the conductor.
