Timeline for A dielectric moves toward a stronger electric field. This quick analysis says the opposite. What am I missing?

| Oct 7, 2022 at 2:17 | comment | added | meltyness | @PhineasNicolson doesn't your supposition that the charge on $V$ isn't enough to change the outer field appreciable eliminate the need for $\partial \vec{E}$? | |

Changed smaller than to greater than

| Sep 23, 2022 at 3:39 | comment | added | Phineas Nicolson | That doesn't really answer anything. | |
| Sep 23, 2022 at 2:16 | comment | added | Bob D | in that case, the answer is no. | |
| Sep 23, 2022 at 1:51 | comment | added | Phineas Nicolson | @BobD Yeah, this should be the same effect as when I bring a charged plastic comb near small pieces of paper, inducing a polarization in tha paper and drawing it toward the comb, where the electric field is stronger. | |
| Sep 23, 2022 at 1:08 | comment | added | Bob D | "which will draw it toward the direction where the electric field increases the fastest in intensity." Are you saying that the dielectric will experience a net force that accelerates the dielectric/ | |
