Electric Displacement Field Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Use this simple physics dielectrics calculator to calculate electric displacement field causes the bound charges in the material (atomic nuclei and their electrons).

Electric Displacement Field

The electric displacement field, denoted by D, is a vector field that appears in Maxwell's equations. It accounts for the effects of free and bound charge within materials while its sources are the free charges only. "D" stands for "displacement", as in the related concept of displacement current in dielectrics.

Electric Displacement Field Calculation

Formula:

D = ϵ0 · E + P

where,
D = Electric displacement field (coulombs/m²)
ϵ0 = electric constant ( 8.854187817e-12 F m-1 )
E = Electric field (V/m)
P = Polarization density (coulombs/m²)
