Two thin dielectric slabs of dielectric constants K 1 and 
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
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The electric field inside the dielectrics will be less than the electric field in vacuum. The electric field inside the dielectric could not be zero. As 
the drop in electric field for K 2 dielectric must be more than K 1.
