i) There are permanent dipoles present in Polar Dielectric which are randomly aligned in such a way that there exists permanent dipole moment Pp.
ii) When a dipole is present in an uniform electric field the dipole tries to align itself in the direction of electric field.
iii) Because of this all dipoles in polar dielectric are partially aligned in the direction of the field. This partial alignment is responsible for the induced dipole moment Pi.
Therefore the electric dipole moment is increasing.
P = Pp + Pi
iv) The electric dipole moment of a polar dielectric increases
a) by increasing the applied electric field
b) by decreasing the temperature
