the action of polarizing or state of being or becoming polarized: such as 

a (1) : the action or process of affecting radiation and especially light so that the vibrations of the wave assume a definite form 

(2) : the state of radiation affected by this process

b : an increase in the resistance of an electrolytic cell often caused by the deposition of gas on one or both electrodes

c : magnetization

2a : division into two opposites

b : concentration about opposing extremes of groups or interests formerly ranged on a continuum

In electricity (electromagnetism), the electric susceptibility ( ; Latin: susceptibilis "receptive") is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of polarization of a dielectric material in response to an applied electric field.

Polarization, also called wave polarization, is an expression of the orientation of the lines of electric flux in an electromagnetic field ( EM field ). Polarization can be constant -- that is, existing in a particular orientation at all times, or it can rotate with each wave cycle.

In electricity (electromagnetism), the electric susceptibility ({\displaystyle \chi _{\text{e}}}; Latin: susceptibilis"receptive") is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of polarization of a dielectric material in response to an applied electric field. The greater the electric susceptibility, the greater the ability of a material to polarize in response to the field, and thereby reduce the total electric field inside the material (and store energy). It is in this way that the electric susceptibility influences the electric permittivity of the material and thus influences many other phenomena in that medium, from the capacitance of capacitorsto the speed of light.[1][2]
