This lecture covers the electrostatics in matter, focusing on topics such as electric dipoles, electric field of a dipole, electric polarization, energy of a dipole in an electric field, and electric force moment on a dipole. It also discusses dielectrics, electric polarization, displacement electric field, permittivity, and Gauss's law in matter, as well as the electrostatic energy in matter and the electric dipole energy density. The instructor, Dr. Sylvain Bréchet, explains these concepts with examples and theoretical explanations.
