Choose the correct statements from the following :
(A) A dielectric develops a net dipole moment in the presence of an electric field.
(B) Electrostatic potential is constant throughout the volume of the conductor.
(C) Electric field \( \vec{E} \) depends upon the distance between two thin infinite long uniformly charged plane sheets held parallel to each other.
(D) Electric field due to a uniformly charged spherical shell is zero at all points inside the shell.
(E) Electric field is in the direction in which the potential decreases steepest.

  1. A (A), (B) and (C) only
  2. B (B), (C) and (E) only
  3. C (A), (B), (D) and (E) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (B), (D) and (E) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statements A, B, D, and E are true principles of electrostatics regarding dielectric polarization, equipotential conductors, and field properties. Statement C is incorrect because the electric field between two infinite parallel sheets ( \(E=\sigma / \epsilon_0\) ) is…
