Question

a) $P = \frac{\chi}{E^2}$ b) $P = \frac{\chi}{E}$ c) $P = \chi E$ d) $P = \chi^2 E$

Visual representation for Physics

A

$P = \frac{\chi}{E^2}$

B

$P = \frac{\chi}{E}$

C

$P = \chi E$

D

$P = \chi^2 E$

Answer

Option (c)

Explanation

Solution

In a linear dielectric medium, the polarization $P$ is directly proportional to the electric field $E$ . The proportionality constant is the electric susceptibility $\chi$ . Hence, we have:

P = \chi E
