Clausius - Mosotti equation

Dielectric Materials

Let N be the number of molecules per unit volume and a be the molecular polarisability.

CLAUSIUS - MOSOTTI EQUATION

Let N be the number of molecules per unit volume and a be the molecular polarisability.

Total polarisation P = N ɑ Eint

Eint = P / Να ......(1)

we know that D = ε E = εo E + P

ε E – εo E = P

 (ɛ-εo) E = P

E = P / ε εo ... (2)

Lorentz field is given by Eint = E + P / 3 εo ...(3)

Substituting eqn (2) in eqn (3), we have


Equating eqns (1) and (4), we have


The equation (5) is Clausius - Mosotti relation which relates the dielectric constant (a macroscopic quantity) of the material with polarisability (a microscopic quantity).
