Two parallel metal plates having charges `+Q` and `-Q` face each other at a certain distance between them.If the plates are now dipped in kerosene oil tank ,the electric field between the plates will

A

become zero

B

increase

C

decrease

D

remain same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Electric field between two parallel plates placed in vacuum is given by `E = (sigma)/(epsilon_(0))`
In a medium of dielectric constant K, `E. = (sigma)/(epsilon_(0)K)`
For kerosene oil `K gt 1 rArr E. lt E`
