You should decide: EM or electrons. The mixture is fun.


That's an interesting idea to which I don't know the answer. Let me
rephrase the question:

Although it is known that electrons cannot flow through the dielectric
of an ideal capacitor, how about photons? Can RF photons flow directly
through the dielectric layer of a capacitor? If they can, it would
explain a lot of things.
