In a dielectric the potential drop is equal to

A

Electric field strength thickness

B

Zero

C

Electric field strength x area of cross-section

D

Electric field strength

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Electric field strength, thickness
Explanation: When a dielectric is introduced between two plates of parallel plate capacitor, the potential difference decreases by the value of product of electric field strength x thickness, which is the potential difference of dielectric.
