Polarization Density

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.In classical electromagnetism, the polarization density (or electric polarization, or simply polarization) is the vector field that expresses the density of permanent or induced electric dipole moments in a dielectric material. The polarization vector P is defined as the dipole moment per unit volume. The SI unit of measure is coulombs per square metre. The behavior of electric fields (E and D), magnetic fields (B, H), charge density ( ) and current density (J) are described by Maxwell''s equations. The role of the polarization density P is described below.

In classical electromagnetism, the polarization density (or electric polarization, or simply polarization) is the vector field that expresses the density of permanent or induced electric dipole moments in a dielectric material. The polarization vector P is defined as the dipole moment per unit volume. The SI unit of measure is coulombs per square metre. The behavior of electric fields (E and D), magnetic fields (B, H), charge density ( ) and current density (J) are described by Maxwell's equations. The role of the polarization density P is described below.
