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:
Solution
B.
The electric field inside the dielectrics will be less than the electric field outside the dielectrics. The electric field inside the dielectric could not be zero.
As K2 > K1 the drop in electric field for K2 dielectric must be more than K1.
