हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding the molecular properties of dielectrics: (A) In \( \(\text{CO}\)_2 \), the individual \( \(\text{C}\)-\(\text{O}\) \) bond dipoles cancel each other due to its linear shape. (B) Water (\( \(\text{H}\)_2\(\text{O}\) \)) molecule has a permanent dipole moment because of its bent structure. (C) In a uniform electric field, the alignment of polar molecules is completely rigid and independent of thermal motion. (D) For linear isotropic dielectrics, the induced dipole moment is directly proportional to the applied electric field. Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 1
(A), (B) and (D) only
Explanation
Statements (A), (B), and (D) are factually correct. Statement (C) is incorrect because thermal motion continuously disrupts the alignment of dipoles.
