When the dielectric is placed in an external electric field, the electric field inside the dielectric is (a) less than the external electric field. (b) larger than the external electric field. (c) equal to the external electric field. (d) equal to or greater than external electric field.

Answer: (a). Induced charges on the polarised dielectric oppose the external field: E = E₀/K < E₀. So the answer is (a) less than the external electric field.

Electric Dipole

When the dielectric is placed in an external electric field, the electric field inside the dielectric is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Induced charges on the polarised dielectric oppose the external field: $E = \frac{E_0}{K} < E_0$ .
So the answer is (a) less than the external electric field.
