Assertion : When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, the electric field with in the dielectric as well as. Potential difference across the capacitor plates are reduced by a factor K (battery is not connected). Reason : The dielectric constant is the ratio of the absolute permittivity of the dielectric to the to the permittivity of the free space.
