Question

Define Dielectric Polarization and explain its types? Find
the polarization produced in a dielectric medium of relative
permittivity 15 in presence of an electric field of 500 V/m
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dielectric polarization occurs when a dipole moment is formed in an insulating material because of an externally applied electric field. When a current interacts with a dielectric (insulating) material, the dielectric material will respond with a shift in charge distribution with the positive charges aligning with the electric field and the negative charges aligning against it. By taking advantage of this response, important circuit elements such as capacitors can be made.
