Electromagnetism - Dielectrics and Polarisation

In this video, we discuss the physics behind dielectrics, and how on an atomic level this leads to various macroscopic changes. We introduce various new quantities such as polarisation, electric displacement, susceptibility and relative permittivity.
Near then end we apply these concepts to a problem involving a dielectric material, and how it changes the electric field in that vicinity.

Your videos have amazing explanations to complex topics. Keep up the great work!!!

Great video! Thanks, that was well explained. :)

How is the D term independent of the polarisation?
