Question
How does a dielectric's dipole becoming polarized
I read the following from Wikipedia,
"Permittivity is a physical quantity that describes how an electric field affects, and is affected by, a dielectric medium, and is determined by the ability of a material to polarize in response to the field, and thereby reduce the total electric field inside the material. Thus, permittivity relates to a material's ability to transmit (or "permit") an electric field."

...thereby reduce the electric field inside the material.
