Electric polarization refers to the displacement of positive and negative charges within a material, leading to the creation of an electric dipole moment in the absence of an external electric field. This phenomenon is fundamental in understanding how materials respond to electric fields, influencing their dielectric properties and applications in capacitors and insulators.
