If a linear isotropic dielectric is placed in an electric field of strength E, then the polarization P is

A

independent of E

B

inversely proportional to E

C

directly proportional to `sqrt(E)`

D

directly proportional to E

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For linear isotropic dielectric,
Polarisation, `P = chi_(e)E`
where `chi_(e)` is a constant characteristic of the dielectric and is known as the electric susceptibility of the dielectric medium.

When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, it gets polarized. The electric field in a polarized material is less than the applied field. When a paramagnetic substance is kept in a magnetic field, the field in the substance is more than the applied field. Explain the reason of this opposite behaviour.
