Dielectric behavior

Dielectric material

A material that is electrically insulating (non-metallic) and exhibits (or be made to) an electric dipole structure.

Electric Dipole Structure

Electric Dipole Structure is the separation of positive and negative electrically charged entities on a molecular or atomic level.

Note

One of the common use cases of dielectric materials is in capacitors.

Electric Polarization

In dielectric materials, the electric dipoles are aligned in one direction due to the presence of the electric field. This process of alignment is called polarization.
