SUMMARY
The susceptibility of a linear dielectric material can be calculated using the relationship between the electric field in the material and the vacuum field. In this discussion, it was established that the electric field in the material is 38% less than that in a vacuum, leading to the conclusion that the susceptibility, χ(material), is 1.61. This value was derived by taking the ratio of the electric fields and applying the formula P = εχE, where P represents polarization and ε is the permittivity of the material.
