MCQ
A slab X is placed between the two parallel isolated charged plates as shown in the figure. If Ep​ and Eq​ denotes the intensity of electric field at P and Q, then:

  • A
    Ep​ is reduced by the presence of X, if X is metallic.
  • B
    Eq​ is increased by presence of X, if X is dielectric.
  • C
    Eq​ is in the opposite sense to Ep​, if X is dielectric.
  • D
    Eq​ is zero, if X is metallic.

Answer

  1. Eq​ is zero, if X is metallic.

Explanation:

There is no effect of the metal on the external electric field(thus A is incorrect) while the dielectric reduces the net electric field outside. The dielectric produces an electric field inside it due to the induced charges which is opposite to the external field. Thus EQ​ is reduced and B and C are also incorrect.(Note that EP​ is not the external field). Now as the electric field inside the conductor is zero, the field Ep​ is zero if X is a metallic.
