Consider the arrangement shown in figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when key is closed. Now the key $K$ is made off (opened) and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity ${ \in _r}$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slab tightly fit in between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then the ratio of $U_1/U_2$ is
$\frac{{2{ \in _r}}}{{1\, + \, \in _r^2}}$
${ \in _r}$
$\frac{1}{{{ \in _r}}}$
$\frac{{{ \in _r}}}{{1\, + \, \in _r}}$
Define dielectric constant.
Explain the difference in the behaviour of a conductor and dielectric in the presence of external electric field.
A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $100\,V$ and disconnected from the source of $emf$ . A slab of dielectric is then inserted between the plates. Which of the following three quantities change?
$(i)$ The potential difference
$(ii)$ The capacitance
$(iii)$ The charge on the plates
What are polar and non-polar molecules ?
Write the relation between $\vec P$ and $\vec E$ for a linear isotropic dielectric.
