‘X’ is a substance which does not allow the flow of charges through it but permits them to exert electrostatic forces on one another through it. Identify X.(a) Polar molecule(b) Dielectric(c) Non-polar molecule(d) EquipotentialThis question was posed to me during an online interview.This interesting question is from Dielectrics and Polarisation topic in division Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Dielectric

The explanation: A dielectric is a SUBSTANCE which does not ALLOW the flow of charges through it but permits them to EXERT electrostatic forces on one ANOTHER through it. A dielectric is essentially an insulator which can be polarized through small localized DISPLACEMENTS of its charges.
