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
In vacum `E_0 = sigma/(epsilon_0)`
In medium `E_m = (sigma)/(kepsilon_0) =E_0/k`
