Chapter - 1 : DiElectrics
Q-1: What Is Dielectrics? Explain.
Ans: Defination:
A Dielectric is an Electrical Insulator that can be Polarized by an Applied Electric Field.
⦁ At Certain Potential Difference,Materials Such As Glass,Rubber,Wood etc. Provides Electric Insulation between Two Condutors.
⦁ Under Certain Circumstance(situation or condition),They Are Used For Storing Electrical Charge.
⦁ Dielectrics Materials Are Non-Conducting Materials because all electron are tightly bound with the Nucleus of an Atom.
⦁ The Dielectrics are Non-metallic materials of High Specific Resitance & have Negative Temperature Co-efficient of Resistance.
Q-2: Polarization Of Dielectric.
Ans: Definition:
Polarization Of Dielectric is Used To Describe The Behaviour of a Material When An External Electric field is applied on it.
Explanation:
Figure:
Thus Polarization is defined as the process of inducing Dipoles In Dielectric Material by an External Electric Field.
The DiElectrics Are Classified Into Two Categories:
1. Polar Dielectric
2. Non-Polar Dielectric
1. Polar Dielectric:
A Dielectric material in which there is a permanent Dipole Exists in Absence of external field is called Polar Dielectric.
ex: H2O,HCl & CO.
2. Non-Polar Dielectric:
A Dielectric material in which there is No permanent Dipole Exists in Absence of external field is called Non-Polar Dielectric.
ex: H2,N2,O2,CO2 etc.
Relative Permittivity: It Is Defined As The Ratio Of "Permittivity Of The Medium (ε)" To The "Permittivity of Free Space(ε0).
i.e., εr= ε/ε0
Electric Field (E): The Field or Space around a Charge Particle where its Force can be experienced by any other Charged particle is called the Electric Field.
Electric Flux(Ï•): The Number Of Line Of Force That Pass Through A Surface Placed In The Vector Field.
Electric Flux Density(D): Flux Passing Per Unit Area Is Called Electric Flux Density.
Polarization Vector (P): It Is Defined As The Induced Dipole Moment Per Unit Volume Of Dielectric Material.

Q-2: Polarization Of Dielectric.
Ans: Definition:
Polarization Of Dielectric is Used To Describe The Behaviour of a Material When An External Electric field is applied on it.
Explanation:
- When An External Field Is Applied,it causes the electron cloud to move away.
- Thus,the centroids of the positive and negative charges now no longer coincide and as a result an Electric Dipole is Induced in an Atom.
- Thus, The Atoms are said to be Polarized.
