A dielectric in the form of a sphere is ...

A dielectric in the form of a sphere is introduced into a homogeneous electric field. A, B, and C are three pointsas shown in figure. Then

A

intensity at A increases while that at B and C decreases

B

intensity at A and B decreases, whereas intensity at C increases

C

intensity at A and C increases and that at B decreases

D

intensity at A, B, and C decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
c. The dielectric gets polarized as shown. Induced charges will
also contribute in electric field.

So, intensity at points A and C will increase and at B intensity
will decrease.
