Question
Define the term polarization of a dielectric and write the expression for a linear isotropic dielectric in terms of electric field.
Short/Brief Note
Advertisements
Solution 1
Net dipole moment per unit volume induced in dielectric is called polarization. It is represented by P.
P = χeE
P = Polarisation
χe → Electrical succeptibility
E = External electric field.

Solution 2
Dipole moment per unit volume of a polarized dielectric is known as the polarization of a dielectric. It is denoted by the letter P for the linear isotropic dielectric.
The polarisation of a linear isotropic dielectric,`"P" = "x"epsilon_@"E"`
Where E is the net electric field from the effects of both free and bound charges.
