APFIVE Induced Electric Field in a Dielectric
A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery that maintains a constant potential difference. When a dielectric with constant κ is inserted between the plates, which of the following statements correctly describes the induced polarization field in the dielectric?
A
It points opposite to the original field and has magnitude (κ-1)E₀/κ
B
It points opposite to the original field and has magnitude E₀
C
It points in the same direction as the original field
D
It points opposite to the original field and has magnitude E₀/κ
