2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy
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
decrease
B
increase
C
reamain same
D
become zero
(AIPMT-2010)
Solution
Electric field between two parallel plates placed in vacuum is given by
$E=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
In a medium of dielectric constant $K, E^{\prime}=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0} K}$
For kerosene oil $K > 1 \Rightarrow {E^\prime } < E$
