Dielectric quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Dielectric card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
This creates an ______ electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself.
Answer
internal. This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself. From the Dielectric article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Classical period. Classical period 76 · Dielectric 72 · Male 68 · Lyari 64 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Lyari. Lyari 530,000 · Male 290,000 · Discrete mathematics 170,000 · Dielectric 120,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor, because they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material, but instead they shift, only slightly, from their average equilibrium positions, causing dielectric polarisation.
- Because of dielectric polarisation, positive charges are displaced in the direction of the field and negative charges shift in the direction opposite to the field.
- This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dielectric article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Dielectric
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
