Answer:
Dielectric polarization is the term given to describe the behavior of a material when an external electric field is applied on it. ... The charges in the material will have a response to the electric field caused by the plates. It is vector quantity

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization.
