55. Equal and opposite charge is given to two parallel plates. Without any space between them, the electric field is \( 3 \times 10^{5} V / m \) and with space filled with dielectric, electric field intensity is \( 1.0 \times 10^{5} V / m \). The induced charge density on the surface of the dielectric is: (a) \( 3.44 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (b) \( 8.8 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (c) \( 6.93 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (d) \( 1.77 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \)

Correct Answer - A
Here, length of dipole 2a = 20 cm `= 2 xx 10^(-2)m` Charge `q = pm 3xx 10^(-3) C, theta = 60^(@)` and torque `tau = 6 N`m
As ` tau = pE sin theta`
or `E = (tau)/(p sin theta) =(tau)/(q(2a)sintheta) " "(because p = q(2a))`
`therefore " " E = (6)/(3 xx 10^(-3) xx 20 xx 10^(-2) xx sin 60^(@)) = (10^(5))/(5sqrt(3) N C^(-1)`
Potetial enegy of diople `U = - p E cos theta - q (2a) Ecos theta = - 3 xx 10^(-3) (20 xx 10^(-2)) (10)/(5sqrt(3)) cos 60^(@)`
` = (3 xx 10^(-5) xx 20 xx 10^(5))/(5sqrt(3) xx 2) = -2sqrt(3)J`
