Recall that in dielectric materials (i.e., insulators), the charges are bound. As a result, atoms/molecules form electric dipoles when an electric field is present! Note that even for some small volume v ∆ , there are many atoms/molecules present; therefore there will be many electric dipoles. +-() r E p () r E
