हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The extent of polarisation in a polar dielectric decreases as the temperature of the dielectric is lowered. Statement II: Thermal energy tends to align the molecular dipoles parallel to the external electric field. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 2
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Explanation
Thermal energy disrupts dipole alignment rather than aligning them; hence lower temperature reduces thermal agitation and increases alignment (polarisation). Both statements are incorrect.
