IV. ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS (Time-Invariant)
The electric field intensity E is defined as the force on an unit positive charge at a point.
D is the electric flux density (or electric displacement density). The direction of D is that of the electric flux at the point, and its magnitude is the no.of flux lines passing through an unit normalsurface area.

4.5 Dielectric material
• Dielectrics are insulating materials, and contain bound charges which cannot move freely to generate currents.
• Bound charges can move short distances under an electric field to form electric dipoles. (A dipole is a pair of equal and oppositecharges (+Q,-Q) separated at a small distance r. The dipole moment p is equal to Qrar. )

where N is the number of dipoles per unit volume.
• The polarization (or bound) charges can also contribute to theelectric field E as the free charges. (Note ρv defined before is free charge density.) It can be shown that D is related to E and P according to the following equation:

PED += oε
• In most materials, P is in the same direction and proportional to E (P = εoχE), so that
EE εεε == ro
where εo is the permittivity of vacuum, εr is the relative permittivity (or dielectric constant) of the material, ε is the permittivity of the material, and χ is the susceptibility of the material.

4.6 Presence of a conductor
Electric current will flow in a conductor when there is an electric field. The current density J (A/m2) is proportional to the electric field intensity E.
where σ is the conductivity of the material. This is another form of Ohm’s Law. The total current I flowing through a surface S is given by:
EJ σ=
∫=S
dI SJ.
In the interior of a perfect conductor, σ is very large so that E can be assumed to be zero.
