Outline• Introduction
Goal of chapter 4: (ε0ε)E D
Dielectric material – bound chargeGeometry of chapter 4 – polarization chains
• Dipoles in a materialProperties of a dipole – force, torque, energyInduced dipoles – polarizability αAlignment of polar molecules
• Polarization field (density) P(r)Field of dipole distribution – bound chargeExample – dielectric sphere

Dielectric materials• Three material properties – three electrical components
– Permittivity (dielectric) D = ε E – capacitance C = ε A/d– Permeability (magnet) B = μ H – inductance L = μ A/d– Conductivity (conductor) J = σ E – conductance G = σ A/d
• Free charge vs. bound charge – dielectric– Insulator (dielectric) – semiconductor – conductor – superconductor– Conduction band in a solid, Ionization in a liquid– Polarization – stretching of charge or rotation of permanent dipoles
• Charge screening– Polarization chains– Example: capacitor
3
Properties of dipole• Dipole field – multipole expansion
– Dipole chain – middle charges cancel
• Force on a dipole– Force on a quadrupole?
• Torque on a dipole in a field– Analogous to force on a point charge
• Dipole energy in a field– Alternate derivation of force
4
Polarizability• Atomic polarizability tensor:
– Field stretches +/- charge in opposite directions: polarization– May depend on intrinsic directions of the material: birefringence
• Example: atomic nucleus in uniform electron cloud
5
Polarization density• Recall: field of spherical dipole distribution: dipole density
– Same problem: pepper dipole all throughout sphere!
• Dipole density is naturally treated as a flux
