Question

With the rise in temperature, the dielectric constant K of a liquid

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains unchanged
• D. Charges erratically

Answer 1

The correct option is A Decreases

1. With temperature rise, the dielectric constant of liquid decreases.
2. As temperature increases, owing to increased kinetic energy, the capability of the dipole to remain united decreases, and therefore, the dielectric constant decreases.
3. The dielectric constant k is the comparative permittivity of a dielectric substantial. It is a vital parameter in characterizing capacitors.
