Polarization density

ID: polarization-density

Polarization density, often denoted by the symbol **P**, is a vector quantity that measures the density of electric dipole moments in a material. It reflects how much the material becomes polarized in response to an applied electric field. In other words, it quantifies the extent to which positive and negative charges within a material are displaced from each other when an electric field is applied.
