Dielectric Charges: Polarization or Dielectricity?

[QUOTE="hjelmgart, post: 4503994, member: 487474"] Polarization is correct. Think of the charges as small magnets. They each have a positive and a negative pole, but they aren't turned in any specific order, so it's all random. When the dielectric is placed under influence from an electric field, all the charges will turn, so that the negative charge points towards the positive part of the electric field and vice versa. Thus you have "polarized" the charges. [/QUOTE]
