A dielectric slab placed in a uniform external electric field.
A dielectric slab placed in a uniform external electric field.
Three large dielectric slabs, labeled \(1\), \(2\), and \(3\), are placed one at a time into the same uniform external electric field of magnitude \(E_0\). The faces of each slab are oriented perpendicular to the field lines. The dielectric constants of the slabs are \(\kappa_1 = 2\), \(\kappa_2 = 4\), and \(\kappa_3 = 6\), respectively. Which of the following correctly ranks the magnitude of the induced surface charge density \(\sigma_{\text{ind}}\) on the faces of the slabs?
