This lecture covers the functional properties of materials, focusing on electrical and magnetic properties. It explains the concepts of polarization and magnetization, the electrical conductivity of metals, and the resistivity of different materials. The lecture also discusses insulating materials, dielectrics, and the behavior of dipoles in electric fields, as well as the use of ferroelectrics and pyroelectrics in various applications.
