Uniformly polarised dielectric has ...... of induced charge.

Options

A. linear charge density
B. surface charge density
C. volume charge density
D. none of above

Answer

A, C, D

Explanation

When a dielectric is placed in an externa electric field, due to electric forces exerted or the positive and negative charges inside the constituent atoms, their centres get separatec by some distance. When this happens, we have unlike charges induced on opposite sides dielectric, where they have surface distributior and hence surface charge density. (Please remember chat net charge possessed by dielectric remains zero)
