Question

Which of the following is true about linear isotropic dielectric?

• A. Induced dipole moment of the linear isotropic dielectric is opposite to the direction of external electric field and proportional to the field strength
• B. Induced dipole moment of the linear isotropic dielectric is in the direction of the field and proportional to the field strength
• C. Induced dipole moment of the linear isotropic dielectric is perpendicular to the direction of the external field and proportional to the field strength
• D. Induced dipole moment of the linear isotropic dielectric is independent to the direction of the external field and the field strength
