How to Calculate and Solve for Total Polarization | Electrical Properties
Last Updated on August 12, 2022
The image of total polarization is shown above.
To compute for total polarization, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Electronic Polarization (Pe), Ionic Polarization (Pi) and Orientation Polarization (Po).
The formula for calculating total polarization:
P = Pe + Pi + Po
Where:
P = Total Polarization
Pe = Electronic Polarization
Pi = Ionic Polarization
Po = Orientation Polarization
Let’s solve an example;
Find the total polarization when the electronic polarization is 24, the ionic polarization is 4 and the orientation polarization is 2.
This implies that;
Pe = Electronic Polarization = 24
Pi = Ionic Polarization = 4
Po = Orientation Polarization = 2
P = Pe + Pi + Po
P = 24 + 4 + 2
P = 30
Therefore, the total polarization is 30 C/m².
Calculating the Electronic Polarization when the Total Polarization, the Ionic Polarization and the Orientation Polarization is Given.
Pe = P – Pi – Po
Where:
Pe = Electronic Polarization
P = Total Polarization
Pi = Ionic Polarization
Po = Orientation Polarization
Given an example;
Find the electronic polarization when the total polarization is 29, the ionic polarization is 10 and the orientation polarization is 3.
This implies that;
P = Total Polarization = 29
Pi = Ionic Polarization = 10
Po = Orientation Polarization = 3
Pe = P – Pi – Po
Pe = 29 – 10 – 3
Pe = 19 – 3
Pe = 16
Therefore, the electronic polarization is 16.
Calculating the Ionic Polarization when the Total Polarization, the Electronic Polarization and the Orientation Polarization is Given.
Pi = P – Pe – Po
Where:
Pi = Ionic Polarization
P = Total Polarization
Pe = Electronic Polarization
Po = Orientation Polarization
Let’s solve an example;
Given that, the total polarization is 64, the electronic polarization is 21 and the orientation polarization is 5. Find the ionic polarization?
This implies that;
P = Total Polarization = 64
Pe = Electronic Polarization = 21
Po = Orientation Polarization = 5
Pi = P – Pe – Po
Pi = 64 – 21 – 5
Pi = 43 – 5
Pi = 38
Therefore, the ionic polarization is 38.
Calculating the Orientation Polarization when the Total Polarization, the Electronic Polarization and the Ionic Polarization is Given.
Po = P – Pe – Pi
Where:
Po = Orientation Polarization
P = Total Polarization
Pe = Electronic Polarization
Pi = Ionic Polarization
Let’s solve an example;
Find the orientation polarization when the total polarization is 72, the electronic polarization is 34 and the ionic polarization is 18.
This implies that;
P = Total Polarization = 72
Pe = Electronic Polarization = 34
Pi = Ionic Polarization = 18
Po = P – Pe – Pi
Po = 72 – 34 – 18
Po = 38 – 18
Po = 20
Therefore, the orientation polarization is 20.
