Case Study Question :

When an insulator is placed in an external field, the dipoles become aligned. Induced surface charges
on the insulator establish a polarization field Ēi in its interior. The net field Ē in the insulator is the
vector sum of Ē, and Ēi as shown in the figure.

On the application of external electric field, the effect of aligning the electric dipoles in the insulator
is called
polarisation and the field Ē; is known as the polarisation field.
The dipole moment per unit volume of the dielectric is known as polarisation (P).
For linear isotropic dielectrics, P =χE, where χ = electrical susceptibility of the dielectric medium.
