DESCRIPTION
introduction and properties of dielectricsTRANSCRIPT
Dielectrics are the materials having electric dipole moment permanently.
Dipole: A dipole is an entity in which equal positive and negative charges are separated by a small distance..
DIPOLE moment (µEle ):The product of magnitude of either of the charges and separation distance b/w them is called Dipole moment.
µe = q . x coulmb.m
All dielectrics are electrical insulators and they are mainly used to store electrical energy.
Ex: Mica, glass, plastic, water & polar molecules…

The relative permittivity(εr) is often known as dielectric const. of medium it can given by,
εr=ε/ε0
Dielectric constant is ratio of permittivity of medium to permittivity of free space.
The value of capacitance of capacitor is given by, C0=εrε0A/d
By this eqn we can say that high εr increases capacity of capacitor.

As shown in fig. when an electric field is applied to dielectric material their negative & positive charges tend to align in equilibrium position.
They produce electric dipole inside the material. This phenomenon is known as Polarization. It can be represented by,P=polarizationμ= dipole momentV=Volume Unit=Cm-2 Now dipole moment depends upon applied electric field.

1. Electron polarization2. Ionic polarization3. Orientation polarization4. Space charge polarization
When no external field is applied nucleus of atom is like in fig. (a)
When external field is applied, displacement in opposite direction is observed between nucleus & electrons due to this dipole moment is induced.
This type of polarization is called Electronic polarization.
Ex. Germanium, Silicon, Diamond etc…

Electric Field Electric Field (a) (b)
Some materials like ionic crystal does not possess permanent dipole moment.
Fig. (a) shows natural arrangement of ionic crystal. When Ele. Field is applied on this type of material displacement of ions is observed.
Due to an external electric field a positive & negative ion displaces in the direction opposite to each other due to which distance between them is reduced & ionic polarization is generated.
Ionic polarization is observed in materials like NaCl, KBr, KCl etc…
Let us consider simple example of NaCl crystal.
As shown in fig. when crystal is placed in an external electric field Na+ ion displaces in one direction & Cl- ion goes in opposite direction.
Some molecules like H2O, HCl having permanent dipole moment p0.
In the absence of a field, individual dipoles are arranged in random way, so net average dipole moment in a unit volume is zero as shown in fig. (b).
A dipole such as HCl placed in a field experiences a torque that tries to rotate it to align p0 with the field E.
In the presence of an applied field, the dipoles try to rotate to align parallel to each other in direction of electric field fig (d).
This type of polarization is Orientation polarization.
This type of polarization occurs only in polar substances like H2O, CH3Cl when they are placed in external field.
A crystal with equal number of mobile positive ions and fixed negative ions.
In the absence of a field, there is no net separation between all the positive charges and all the negative charges.
In the presence of an applied field, the mobile positive ions migrate toward the negative charges and positive charges in the dielectric.
The dielectric therefore exhibits Space charge or interfacial polarization.
