Consider the following statements about dielectrics.

1. The relative permittivity exceeds unity   2. The field inside is reduced   3. The bound charge can be conducted away

  • A.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about a dielectric
  • B.2 and 3 only are correct
  • C.1 and 3 only are correct
  • D.1 and 2 only are correct

Answer: D

The first two are correct and closely related, the reduction of the interior field being precisely what a permittivity above one expresses. Bound charge is not free to move and cannot be drained away, which is what distinguishes it from the free charge on the electrodes.
