The potential at any point is the potential difference between that point

It means Electric Field Intensity is the gradient of V.
The negative sign shows that the direction of E is opposite to the
direction in which V increases.
Electric Dipole
An electric dipole is formed when two point charges of equal
magnitude but of opposite sign are separated by a small distance.

Polarization in Dielectrics
Consider an atom of the dielectric consisting of an electron cloud (-Q)
and a positive nucleus (+Q).
When an electric field
is applied, the positive charge is displaced
F Q E
by
F Q E
while
in the opposite
p Qd
where d is the distance vector between -Q to +Q.
If there are N dipoles in a volume v of the dielectric, the total dipole
moment due to the electric field
The major effect of the electric field on the dielectric is the creation of
dipole moments that align themselves in the direction of electric field.
This type of dielectrics are said to be non-polar. eg: H2, N2, O2
Other types of molecules that have in-built permanent dipole moments
are called polar. eg: H2O, HCl
When electric field is applied to a polar material then its permanent
dipole experiences a torque that tends to align its dipole moment in the
direction of the electric field.

distance between volume element dv and the
point O.

Put this in (i) and integrate over the entire volume v of the dielectric
where ps and pv are the bound surface and volume charge densities.
Bound charges are those which are not free to move in the dielectric
material.
Equation (ii) says that where polarization occurs, an equivalent
volume charge density, pv is formed throughout the dielectric while
an equivalent surface charge density, ps is formed over the surface of
dielectric.

Boundary Conditions
If the field exists in a region consisting of two different media, the
conditions that the field must satisfy at the interface separating the
media are called boundary conditions
These conditions are helpful in determining the field on one side of
the boundary when the field on other side is known.
We will consider the boundary conditions at an interface separating
1. Dielectric (r1) and Dielectric (r2)
2. Conductor and Dielectric
3. Conductor and free space
For determining boundary conditions we will use Maxwells equations
and

Uniqueness Theorem
There are several methods (analytical, graphical, numerical ,
experimental etc.) for solving a problem.
We can solve a Laplace equation in different ways but every method
will lead to the same solution which satisfies the given boundary
conditions.
Any solution of Laplace equation which satisfies the same boundary
conditions must be the only solution regardless of the method used.
This is known as the uniqueness theorem.
This theorem applies to any solution of the Poissons and Laplaces
equation in a given region or closed surface.
Faradays law
According to Faraday a time varying magnetic field produces an
induced voltage (called electromotive force or emf) in a closed circuit,
which causes a flow of current.
The induced emf (Vemf) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of
change of the magnetic flux linkage by the circuit. This is Faradays
Law and can be expressed as
where N is the number of turns in the circuit and is the flux through
each turn.
The negative sign shows that the induced voltage acts in such a way to
oppose the flux producing in it. This is known as Lenzs Law.
The direction of current flow in the circuit is such that the induced
magnetic field produced by the induced current will oppose the
original magnetic field.
Consider the electrical circuit
where battery is a source of
emf. The battery produces a
field Ef.
Due
to
the
charge
accumulation at the battery
terminals a electrostatic field,
Ee ( V ) also exists
Ee
Ef
because Ee is conservative.
The emf of the battery is the line integral of the emf produced field.
Thus
