The correct Answer is:
To analyze the question regarding the behavior of polar and non-polar dielectrics with temperature changes, we can break down the solution into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dielectric Constants**: - The dielectric constant (κ) is a measure of a material's ability to polarize in response to an electric field, which affects its capacitance. - Polar dielectrics have permanent dipoles, while non-polar dielectrics do not have permanent dipoles. **Hint**: Recall the definitions of polar and non-polar dielectrics and their characteristics. 2. **Effect of Temperature on Polar Dielectrics**: - As temperature increases, the thermal energy of the molecules also increases. This increased energy can disrupt the alignment of the dipoles in polar dielectrics. - Consequently, the dielectric constant of polar dielectrics decreases with an increase in temperature because the effective polarization decreases. **Hint**: Consider how thermal energy affects molecular motion and alignment in polar materials. 3. **Effect of Temperature on Non-Polar Dielectrics**: - Non-polar dielectrics do not have permanent dipoles. Instead, they can develop induced dipoles when an external electric field is applied. - The increase in temperature does not significantly affect the induced dipoles, so the dielectric constant remains relatively unchanged. **Hint**: Think about the nature of induced dipoles and how they respond to temperature changes. 4. **Magnitude of Dipole Moment in Polar Molecules**: - The dipole moment (p) of a polar molecule is defined as the product of the charge (q) and the distance (d) between the charges (p = q × d). - As temperature increases, while the orientation of dipoles may become less aligned, the overall dipole moment of individual polar molecules does not decrease; rather, it may increase due to increased molecular motion. **Hint**: Analyze how temperature influences molecular interactions and dipole alignment. 5. **Conclusion**: - The first statement regarding the dielectric constant of polar dielectrics decreasing with temperature is correct. - The second statement about the dipole moment of individual polar molecules decreasing with temperature is incorrect, as the dipole moment can increase due to increased molecular motion. **Hint**: Summarize the findings and clarify which statements are true or false based on the analysis. ### Final Answer: - The first statement is correct: The dielectric constant of polar dielectrics decreases with an increase in temperature. - The second statement is incorrect: The magnitude of the dipole moment of individual polar molecules does not decrease with an increase in temperature; it may actually increase due to increased thermal motion.
