Nature of dielectrics

Electricity and Magnetism Level 3

A parallel plate capacitor with isotropic dielectric between the plates is charged across some potential difference. Afterwards when the capacitor is discharged (charge on the plate becomes 0 ) 0) .What happens to the charge induced in the dielectric material?

moves back into the material flows along with the charge on plates neutralises with the with the charge on the plates none of the above

The phenomenon is called "electrostatic dissipation". How fast the dissipation happens depends on the resistivity of the material. The higher the resistivity, the slower the dissipation is.
