A
Dielectrics can become polarized when an external electric field is applied.
B
The induced dipoles in dielectrics can lead to a reduction of the electric field within the material.
C
Conductors exhibit the same behavior as dielectrics when subjected to an external electric field.
D
Electric field induction does not occur in insulators.
E
The polarization of dielectrics can enhance the capacitance of a capacitor.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that question without seeing the statements you’re referring to. Could you please provide the list of statements you want evaluated?
Detailed Explanation
When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, its molecules shift slightly, forming tiny dipoles that reduce the field inside the material. Other options are incorrect because Conductors do not become polarized the same way dielectrics do; free electrons in a conductor move to cancel the external field, leaving no internal dipoles; Dielectrics are insulators, but they still develop internal dipoles when an external field is applied.
