Induced Electric Field in a Dielectric
The polarization vector P in a dielectric material is related to the net electric field E by the equation P = ε₀χₑE, where χₑ is the electric susceptibility. For a dielectric with χₑ = 2.0 placed in an external electric field of 3.0×10³ N/C, what is the electric field produced by the material’s polarization?
A
It is 6.0×10³ N/C in the direction opposite to E
B
It is 1.0×10³ N/C in the direction opposite to E
C
It is 2.0×10³ N/C in the same direction as E
D
It is 2.0×10³ N/C in the direction opposite to E
