relaxation
• Consider what happens if the driving force (electrical
field) is suddenly switched off,
– after it has been constant for a sufficiently long time so that an
equilibrium distribution of dipoles could be obtained.
• We expect then that the dipoles will randomize, i.e. their
dipole moment or their polarization will go to zero.

Because as t goes to infinity, Po (t) become zero. Hence we may write equation as
[Po(∞) –Po(t)]/ = dPo(t)/dt
AC dipolar polarizability
• Recall: Physical understanding of dipole relaxation
On application of a static field, due to collision between dipoles,
polarization of the dipolar dielectric increases as
Po (t ) Pos 1 exp t

Here, Po(t) is the polarization at any instant of time and Pos is Po(∞)
the saturation (equilibrium) polarization for the instantaneous
applied field. τ is relaxation time or time constant.
Now apply an alternating field
• Apply E (t ) E0 exp(it ) (4)
• The saturation polarization at any instant of
time will be given as
Pos (t ) N o (0) E (t );
o (0) static dipolar polarizability
The solution of this equation will have the same form as experienced field:
Po (t ) N 0 ( ) E0 exp(it ) (6)
