Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीA conductor and a dielectric slab are placed separately in a uniform external electric field \( \mathbf{E}_0 \). If \( \mathbf{E}_{\text{in}} \) represents the induced electric field inside each material, the net electric field inside them satisfies:
Correct answer · Option D
\( \mathbf{E}_0 + \mathbf{E}_{\text{in}} = 0 \) for conductor, but \( \mathbf{E}_0 + \mathbf{E}_{\text{in}} \neq 0 \) for dielectric
Explanation
In a conductor, free charges redistribute until the opposing induced field exactly cancels the external field (\( \mathbf{E}_0 + \mathbf{E}_{\text{in}} = 0 \)). In a dielectric, bound charges only partially oppose it (\( \mathbf{E}_0 + \mathbf{E}_{\text{in}} \neq 0 \)).
