Electricity produced on applying stress on the crystals of dielectrics is

A

piezoelectrocity

B

pyroelectricity

C

ferroelectricity

D

antiferroelectricity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
In piezoelectric, dipoles align themselves (on application of a mechanical streets or an electric field) in an ordered manner so that there is a net dipole moment.
Ferroelectrics are those piezoelectrics in which dipoles are grounded in domains button applying an electric field the domains align themselves in such a way that alternatively they point up and down so that thge crystals do not posses any net dipole moment.

Due to polarisation the electric field inside a dielectric is

Assertion: When a dielectric material is kept inside some external electric field then the net electric field intensity inside the volume of dielectric is always less than external electric field intensity. Reason: In a normal state, polar molecules of dielectric material are randomly oriented and their net electric field remains zero. If we apply electric field on a dielectric material then the polar molecules experience torque and gets aligned along its direction.

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance d = 1 cm . Two parallel sided dielectric slabs of thickness 0. 7cm and 0.3cm fill the space between the plates. If the dielectric constants of the two slabs are 3 and 5 respectively and a potential difference of 440V is applied across the plates. Find (a) The electric field intensities in each of the slabs. (b) The ratio of electric energies stored in the first to that in the second dielectric slab.
