Debye theory

Debye theory explains how materials respond to heat and electrical fields, particularly focusing on polar molecules. It describes how these molecules can rotate and align with an external influence, such as temperature changes. As temperature rises, the molecules vibrate more vigorously, affecting the material's thermal and electrical properties. This theory helps in understanding phenomena like heat capacity and dielectric behavior in solids and liquids. Essentially, it provides insight into the microscopic behavior of materials, influencing their macroscopic characteristics, including how they conduct heat and electricity.
