δ, between the dipole displacement <strong>and</strong> the electric field result in dielectric losses.<br />

The in-phase component <strong>of</strong> the dipole displacement with the electric field is power<br />

absorbed by the dielectric material as heat. In alternating current electrical circuits,<br />

the current is out <strong>of</strong> phase with the voltage.<br />

The complex power is the<br />

product <strong>of</strong> the complex current <strong>and</strong> voltage [14]:<br />

S= ⃗ V ∗ ⃗ I<br />

∗<br />

(1.22)<br />

where S is the complex power. If the preceding equation is rewritten in terms <strong>of</strong><br />

the complex capacitance, as defined earlier, the following equation results:<br />

S=jω C ∗ ⃗ V ⃗ V<br />

∗<br />

(1.23)<br />

where the real portion is the power dissipated in the electrical circuit.<br />

This is<br />

analogous to the Poynting power theorem in dielectrics.<br />
