Assertion (A): If a dielectric is placed in an external field, then the field inside the dielectric will be less than the applied field.
Reason (R): Electric field will induce dipole moment opposite to field direction.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
