A dielectric slab of thickness d is inserted in a parallel plate capacitor whose negative plate is at x=0 and positive plate is at x=3d. The slab is equidistant from the plates. The capacitor is given some charge. As one goes from 0 to 3d.
The magnitude of the electric field remains the same
The direction of the electric field remains the same
The electric potential increases continuously
Both b and c
As we learned
Infinite Plane Parallel sheets of charge -
If
and EQ = 0
-
Even after introduction of dielectric slab, direction of electric field will be perpendicular to the plates and directed from positive plate to negative plate.
Further, magnitude of electric field in air
Magnitude of electric field in dielectric
Similarly electric lines always flows from higher to lower potential, therefore, electric potential increases continuously as we move from x = 0 to x = 3d
Option 1)
The magnitude of the electric field remains the same
Option 2)
The direction of the electric field remains the same
Option 3)
The electric potential increases continuously
Option 4)
Both b and c
