25. CASE BASED QUESTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the given passage carefully and answers the following questions.
When an insulator is placed in an external field, the dipoles become aligned. Induced surface charges on
the insulator establish a polarization field Ēi in its interior. The net field Ē in the insulator is the vector
sum of Ē, and Ēi as shown in the figure.

On the application of external electric field, the effect of aligning the electric dipoles in the insulator is
called

Polarisation and the field Ē; is known as the polarisation field.
