Explain polarisation of polar molecule in uniform electric field.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

The permanent dipole moment of polar molecules is zero because the different permanent dipoles are oriented randomly due to thermal agitation, so the total dipole moment is zero.

When an external field is applied the individual dipole moments tend to align with the field. When summed over all the molecules there is then a net dipole moment in the direction of the external field means the dielectric is polarized which is shown in above figure.

The extent of polarization depends on the relative strength of two mutually opposite factors. The dipole potential energy in the external field tending to align the dipoles with the field and thermal energy tending to disturb the alignment.

Generally, the alignment effect is more important for polar molecules.

A parallel plate capacitor with plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K =4$. The thickness of the dielectric material is $x$, where $x < d$.

Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be the capacitance of the system for $x =\frac{1}{3} d$ and $x =\frac{2 d }{3}$, respectively. If $C _1=2 \mu F$ the value of $C _2$ is $……….. \mu F$
