Polarization and Electric Dipole Moment

  • When a charged object is brought near a conductor, the electrons in the conductor are free to move

  • When a charged object is brought near an insulator, the electrons are not free to move, bu they may spend a little more time on the side of their orbit than another, creating a net separation of charge in a process known as polarization

  • The distance between the shifted positive and negative charges, multiplied by the charge, is known as the electric dipole moment
