NEET Physics Potential Difference Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): When a dielectric is inserted between the plates of a capacitor, the potential difference across the plates decreases. | Reason (R): The presence of a dielectric reduces the electric field between the plates.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The dielectric reduces the electric field as it is polarised, leading to a decrease in potential difference as described in Chunk 4.
