Why does the electric field inside a dielectric decrease when it is placed in an external field ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(b) `C=8pF`
`C.=(epsilon_(0)KA)/(d)=(epsilon_(0)xx6xxA)/((d)/(2)) = (12epsilon_(0)A)/(d)=12xx8=96pF`

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.
