21 Dielectric with polar molecules also develops a net dipole moment in an external field, but for a
different reason. In the absence of any external field, the different permanent dipoles are oriented
randomly due to thermal agitation; so, the total dipole moment is zero. When an external field is
applied, the individual dipole moments tend to align with the field. When summed overall the
molecules, there is then a net dipole moment in the direction of the external field, i.e., the dielectric is
 polarised. The extent of polarisation depends on the relative strength of two factors: the dipole
potential energy in the external field tending to align the dipoles mutually opposite with the field and
thermal energy tending to disrupt the alignment. There may be, in addition, the ‘induced dipole
moment’ effect as for non-polar molecules, but generally the alignment effect is more important for
polar molecules. Thus, in either case, whether polar or non-polar, a dielectric develops a net dipole
moment in the presence of an external field. The dipole moment per unit volume is called
polarization.
