This lecture covers the concept of bound charges and macroscopic polarization in dielectrics, how dielectrics screen electric fields, the electric permittivity or dielectric constant, and the dependence of this constant on dipole moments. It also discusses examples of dielectrics between charged plates, the superposition principle, relative permittivity, and values for dielectric constants of various materials.
