What are Semiconductors?
The term semiconductor refers to a material that can be altered to conduct electrical current or block its passage. However, it more commonly refers to an integrated circuit (IC), or computer chip. The most common semiconductor material is silicon. Not surprisingly, silicon is also the main ingredient in computer chips.

How can energy be stored in a field?
6. Energy stored in fields = the total energy required to assemble the fields. It takes energy to bring the charges to specific positions to assemble the field, and when you let everything go, the charges will just fly apart. The energy you stored in the field becomes the kinetic energy of the charges once you let them go.
