Bound Charge Density

Topics

• Bound Current Density

${\sigma }_b\equiv \vec{P}\cdot \hat{n}$

• Bound surface charge density induced by polarization of a neutral dielectric
• $\vec{P}$ is the polarizability
• $\hat{n}$ is the normal unit vector pointing away from the center of the distribution

${\rho }_b\equiv -\nabla \cdot \vec{P}$

• Bound volume charge density
