Question
Answer carefully:
Guess a possible reason why water has a much greater dielectric constant (= 80) than say, mica (= 6).
✓

Answer

Water has an unsvrnrnetrlcal space as compared to mica. Since it has a permanent dipole moment, it has a greater dielectric constant than mica.

When a body is weighed on an ordinary balance we demand that the arm should be horizontal if the weights on the two pans are equal. Suppose equal weights are put on the two pans, the arm is kept at an angle with the horizontal and released. Is the torque of the two weights about the middle point (point of support) zero? Is the total torque zero? If so, why does the arm rotate and finally become horizontal?
