A dielectric in the form of a sphere is introduced into a homogeneous electric field. A, B, and C are three pointsas shown in figure. Then

Options

A. intensity at A increases while that at B and C decreases
B. intensity at A and B decreases, whereas intensity at C increases
C. intensity at A and C increases and that at B decreases
D. intensity at A, B, and C decreases

Answer

C

Explanation

c. The dielectric gets polarized as shown. Induced charges will
also contribute in electric field.

So, intensity at points A and C will increase and at B intensity
will decrease.
