    Orientational Polarization (Dipolar Polarization)
    This mechanism is significant in materials possessing permanent molecular electric dipoles (e.g., polar liquids like water). In the absence of an external field, these dipoles are randomly oriented due to thermal motion. An applied field attempts to align these dipoles, generating a large net polarization. Because rotational inertia is inv…
