NEET 2014 Physics Capacitors and Dielectrics MCQ Question
Two thin dielectric slabs of dielectric constants k₁ and k₂ (k₁ < k₂) are inserted between plates of a parallel plate capacitor as shown in the figure. The variation of electric field E between the plates with distance d as measured from plate P is correctly shown by
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The electric field in a dielectric is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant, leading to a step change in the field at the boundary between the two dielectrics.
