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
