Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: A uniformly polarised dielectric slab has no net charge within its interior, but possesses non-zero induced surface charge densities on its faces perpendicular to the field. Statement II: The surface charges appearing on a polarised dielectric are free charges that can easily conduct electricity. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Statement I is correct. Statement II is incorrect because the induced surface charges arise from bound charges in the dielectric, not free charges.
