In a water drop of radius 1 mm all the molecular dipole points are in the same direction. If the dipole moment of a water molecule is 6 X 10-30 m, the polarization in the water drop is ___________

Dielectrics topics include: Dielectric materials properties and types, dielectric polarisation, polarisation types, dielectric breakdown, ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity. In electromagnetism, a dielectric is a non-metallic substance that can be polarized by an applied electric field. Dielectrics are also known as insulators because they are the opposite of conductors.  Dielectrics can be solids, liquids, gases, or vacuums. Some examples of solid dielectric materials include: Ceramics, Paper, Mica, Glass.  Dielectrics can be used as electrical insulating mediums between two... Show more

In electromagnetism, a dielectric is a non-metallic substance that can be polarized by an applied electric field. Dielectrics are also known as insulators because they are the opposite of conductors. 

Dielectrics can be solids, liquids, gases, or vacuums.

Some examples of solid dielectric materials include: Ceramics, Paper, Mica, Glass. 
Dielectrics can be used as electrical insulating mediums between two conductors. When a dielectric is placed between the plates of a capacitor, it increases the capacitor's capacitance. 
Electric susceptibility is a relative measure of how easily a dielectric material can be polarized when subjected to an electric field. It also refers to the material's electrical permeability
