AIIMS 2014 Physics Dielectric Polarization MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Assertion Dielectric polarization means formation of positive and negative charges inside the dielectric. Reason Free electron are formed in this process.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason explains the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but reason does not explain the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason false

D

If assertion is false but reason is true

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The assertion is true because dielectric polarization involves the separation of positive and negative charges within a dielectric material when exposed to an external electric field. However, the reason is false; during polarization, free electrons are not formed; instead, existing charges within the material are displaced. Thus, the correct answer is D, as the assertion is true while the reason is incorrect.
