Bound Charge Density
#Physics
Topics
$\displaystyle \sigma_{b}\equiv \vec{P}\cdot \hat{n}$
- Bound surface charge density induced by polarization of a neutral dielectric
- $\displaystyle \vec{P}$ is the polarizability
- $\displaystyle \hat{n}$ is the normal unit vector pointing away from the center of the distribution
$\displaystyle \rho_{b}\equiv -\nabla \cdot \vec{P}$
- Bound volume charge density
