Electric displacement

Understand the Electric displacement relationship used by Electrostatics.

Where to find it

Electrostatics → equations

How to use it

Compare the terms, signs and units with your intended physical assumptions before choosing model inputs.

Result

Equation: \mathbf D=\boldsymbol{\epsilon}\mathbf E.

Troubleshooting

The equation describes the model assumptions; it is not a separate editable boundary condition. Check the parent physics page for setup and limitations.
