प्रश्न
How does polarised dielectric modify the original external field?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The field causes a uniform polarisation P of the dielectric. This induces a net charge density. Thus, the polarised dielectric is equivalent to two charged surfaces with induced surface charge densities.
Hence, the field produced by these surface charges opposes the external field.
