State whether following statements are true or false: a) Dipole moment can be induced on nonpolar molecules in presence of electric field. b) All insulators are dielctrics
c) Dielectric constant of Polar dielectrics does not depend on its temperature.

2. A charge of 2 x 10-10 C is stored on each plate of a parallel plate capacitor having an area of 650 mm2 and a plate separation of 4 mm. (a) What voltage is required if a material having a dielectric constant of 3.5 is positioned within the plates? (b) What voltage would be required if a vacuum is used? (c) What are the capacitances for (a) and (b) (d) Compute the dielectric displacement for part (a) (e) Compute the polarization for part (a) 3. For CaO, the ionic radii for Ca2+ and O2- ions are 0.100 nm and 0.140 nm, respectively. If an externally applied electric field produces a 5% expansion of the lattice, compute the dipole moment for each Ca2+ - O2- pair. Assume that this material is completely un-polarized in the absence of an electric field. 4. If the molecular dipoles in a 10-3 m radius water drop are pointed in the same direction, calculate the polarization. Dipole moment of the water molecule is 6 x 10-30 C-m. 5. Significance of material science and engineering. (for self study and assignment)
