Question

Why does the electric polarization depend on the direction of electric field?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It can be inferred that the amount polarisation P is dependent upon and proportional to the magnitude of the electric field E applied: P∝E.

However, the electric field will push positive charges in the direction of the field and negative charges against the field direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reason is that under the influence of the electric field of a charged object, the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nuclei within the atoms and molecules are subjected to forces in opposite directions. As a result, the negative and positive charges separate slightly.
