12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electric Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    ASSERTION: An applied electric field will polarize the polar dielectric material.
    REASON: In polar dielectrics, each molecule has a permanent dipole moment but these are randomly oriented in the absence of an extremely applied electric field.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If a material contains polar molecules, they will generally be in random orientations when no electric field is applied. An applied electric field will polarize the material by orientating the dipole moment of polar molecules.
