The electric field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is `E_(0)`. The space between the plates is filled completely with a dielectric. There are `n` molecules in unit volume of the dielectric and each molecules is like a dumb – bell of length L with its ends carrying charge `+ q and -q`. Assume that all molecular dipoles get aligned along the field between the plates. Find the electric field between the plates after insertion of the dielectric.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
