What happens when a conductor is placed in a constant electric field?

It will accumulate a charge, but if that charge is allowed to dissipate ("leak away") or absorbed in some other way, there will be no long-term effect.

What is the principle of electrostatic shielding?
The method of protecting a region from the effect of electric field is called electrostatic shielding. The electric field inside the cavity of a conductor is zero. Therefore, any instrument or an appliance can be placed in the cavity of a conductor so that it may not be affected by the electric field.
What happens if you placed an insulator in an electric field?
You would then have an insulator immersed in an electric field. Nothing would happen.
What happens to a positivly charged object is placed within a positive electric field?
It will be pushed away from the source of the electric field.
What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
What happens when a charged particle is placed in the electric field of another particle with the same charge?
they either attract or repel
If a conductor is placed in a uniform electric field does the conductor gain any charge?
The conductor will not gain any charge that is not placed on it by you. However, the electric field will displace the free charges already within the conductor (by its nature) such that there will be a non-uniform surface charge density. Remember: a conductor must have zero electric field inside it, so the charges rearrange to cancel the external E-field. Again, this only repositions the existing charge, but it does not add or remove any charge.

What happens when an electric field is placed inside a magnetic field?
Electricity is formed (electrons move )

If a conductor placed in electric field is there any emf induced in the conductor?
one condition for the above question is either conductor or magnetic field must be rotating.considering rotating field and stationary conductor,the magnetic flux will be cut up by conductor resulting in the induced emf in the conductor.
When is the force experienced by current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field strongest?
The force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is strongest when that conductor is placed perpendicularly to the magnetic field.
What happens when a charged particle is placed in the electric field of another particles with the same charge?
they either attract or repel
What happens when a charged particle is placed in the electric field of another particle with the same charge?
they either attract or repel
Why is the dielectric constant value of covalent compounds is low?
because the covalent compounds are non-polar and when they are placed in the electric field so no effect is created on the field.
What happens when a charged particle is placed in an electric field of another particle with the same charge?
There is a force repelling the two charges apart.
