The effect of electric field strength due to a dielectric slab in uniform electric field.

(1): The strength of the electric field in the charged and isolated capacitor is decreased when the dielectric slab is inserted.

(2): When the dielectric slab is inserted between the plates of a charged capacitor, the electric field produced due to induced charge, opposite to the external field.

Q. The electric field in the dielectric slab is:

Q. The greater the dielectric susceptibility, the greater is the ability of a material to polarize in response to the field, and thereby reduce the total electric field inside the material.

Q. Assertion :If a dielectric is placed in external field then field inside dielectric will be less than applied field. Reason: Electric field will induce dipole moment opposite to field direction.
