What is the induced dipole moment developed per unit volume of a dielectric when placed in an external electric field called?(a) Relative permittivity(b) Polarisation susceptibility(c) Electric susceptibility(d) Polarisation densityThis question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is Dielectrics and Polarisation in division Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (d) Polarisation density

To elaborate: The induced DIPOLE moment developed PER unit volume of a dielectric when placed in an external electric FIELD is called polarization density. It may be defined as the charge induced per unit surface area.
