Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
The molecules align their dipoles with the electric field.
The electrons are completely removed from the atoms.
The dielectric becomes a superconductor.
The material emits light due to thermal radiation.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When a field is applied, each molecule’s tiny positive and negative ends try to line up with the field direction. Other options are incorrect because Some think the field pulls electrons out of atoms, but electrons stay attached; A dielectric does not turn into a superconductor, which means zero resistance to current.

Definition
Capacitors store energy as electric field potential between conductors. Discharging a charged capacitor eliminates its stored energy. Observing no spark when shorting discharged capacitor plates demonstrates energy dissipation and charge flow principles.
