Induced Dipoles

What happens when a neutral atom is place in an E-field?

E-Field

+ Positively chargedNucleus

- Negatively chargedElectron cloud

Nucleus is pushed in the direction of the field

Electron cloud is attracted toward the field

If the E-field is strong enough it will ionize the atom (hence

forming ions and it becomes a conductor)

Page 4: ChpChp--10 Electric fields in Matter10 Electric fields in ...

ChpChp--10 Electric fields in Matter10 Electric fields in Matter

In the Limit of low magnitude E-field

Equilibrium is reached between the displacement induced

by the E-field and Coulombic attraction of nucleus and

electronselectrons

Griffiths 4.1.3 Alignment of Polar Molecules

What about molecules with a permanent dipole moment

E.g. Water has a large electronegativity difference between

hydrogen and oxygen & OH bonds are 105o aparthydrogen and oxygen & OH bonds are 105 apart

Electrons are more tightly pulled toward oxygen (although it

is still a covalent compound) pis still a covalent compound) pCm 10x1.6p 30

What happens when anE-field is applied?

Polarization*

What happens when we put slab of a dielectric material in

an E-field?

If the dielectric is made of neutral atoms or nonpolar moleculesIf the dielectric is made of neutral atoms or nonpolar moleculesThe E-field will induce a tiny dipole moment pointing in the field directionIn asymmetric molecules the induced p will not be parallel to the field but if they are Randomly oriented then the components perpendicular to the field will cancel. If it is a crystalline solid then the cancelation does not occur!If th di l t i i d f l l l h l lIf the dielectric is made of polar molecules, each molecular dipole will experience a torque and rotate if freeNote that temperature dependent random thermal motions will always compete withTh li t i th li d fi ld

* Note that this is NOT the same polarization as in light polarization…which refers to the time dependent orientation of the E-field vector during propagation of an EM Wave

We were properly calculating the average macroscopic field for insideaverage macroscopic field for inside the dielectric

All due to the fact that…Th fi ld h d h h i idThe average field over any sphere due to the charge inside Is the same asThe field at the center of a uniformly polarized sphere with y p pthe same total dipole moment

*It would hold for other averaging geometries…but harder to prove

Let’s put it all together!

The E-field due to all other charges (e.g. electrons in a

conductor, ions in the material, etc.) is called the free charge

Free Charge f Any charge that is not due to Polarization of the dielectric material
