Statement-I : A charged plane parallel plate capacitor has half interplanar region (I) filled with dielectric slab. The other half region II has air. Then, the magnitude of net electric field in region I is less than that in region II.
Statement-II : In a dielectric medium, induced (or polarized) charges tend to reduce the electric field.
If Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Potential difference in both parts is same
E1d=E2d
∴E1=E2
The induced charges always tend to decrease the electric field in a dielectric medium, hence statement II is true.
Statement (I) is false Statement II is true.
