Hi everyone,
I just wanted to know/understand that, why do the dielectrics don't get polarized, when subjected to induced electric field ?
Because, according to the definition of electric field(which is a vector), it is the force per unit charge, which implies, that electric field has a unique direction at every point in space.
So, if 'induced electric field' also complies with the above definition, then an 'induced electric field' should also polarize a dielectric material, just like a dielectric material is polarized in any charged capacitor !
Thanks
