Electric Polarization and Relaxation
The task of science is both to extend the range of our experience and to reduce it to order. Only by experience itself do we come to recognize those laws which grant us a comprehensive view of the diversity of phenomena.
The classical theories have contributed so fundamentally to our knowledge of atomic structure.

2.1 Fundamental Concepts
We can say that all dielectric phenomena arise from an electric force which is primarily due to the attraction and the repulsion of electric charges. The action of the force tends to reduce the potential energy of the whole electrically stressed system to a minimum. This is a universal law of nature. Photocopies stick together, dust collects on television ...
