Polarization(P) in Dielectrics
The application of E to the dielectric material
causes the flux density to be grater than it would
be in free space.
PED o
P is proportional to the applied electric field E
EP oe
Where is the electric susceptibility of the material
- Measure of how susceptible (or sensitive) a given
dielectric is to electric field.
