Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

After the introduction of dielectric slab, direction of electric field remains perpendicular to plate and is directed from positive to negative plate.

Electric field in air
and electric field in dielectric
Positive plate is at higher potential and negative plate is at lower potential. So, electric potential increases continuously as we more from to .
