How do dielectrics actually work
Consider a positive charge Q placed in a dielectric substance. The molecules of the dielectric substance will polarize in such a way the the negative end of their dipole will point towards the charge Q and positive end will point radially outwards.
If this is the case, then should the electric field of the dipoles not be in same direction as of electric field of Q, hence it should, like, amplify the electric field of Q. But in reality the dielectrics reduce the electric field on a charge, so how does that happen.
