Question

What is meant by electric polarization?

Answer 1

1. The study of classical electromagnetism includes electric polaripolarization.
2. Electric polarization is a vector field that specifies the density of naturally occurring or artificially produced electric dipole moments in a dielectric medium.
3. The equation representing the electric polarization $\left(P\right)$ can be represented as:
   $P=\frac{p}{V}$
   where $p$ is the amount of dipole moment, $V$ is the volume of polarized material
4. The electric polarization is completed only when the dielectric is said to be placed in an electric field and it attains the electric dipole moment.
5. An electric polarization can be stated as the dipole moment induced in the particle per unit volume.
6. It is also used for analyzing the response of the material which changes with respect to the electric field.
7. It is also used for determining the response of the system in the magnetic field.
