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 & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) less than the external electric field.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Dipole moment will be in same direction as the external field. The collective effect of dipole moment produces a field that opposes the electric field inside the dielectric and hence, the net electric field inside the dielectric is less than external electric field.
