They move freely like electrons in a conductor.

They shift slightly, creating electric dipoles.

They are completely neutralized.

They are unaffected by the electric field.

The material's resistance to electric current.

The material's ability to store magnetic energy.

The ratio of the material's permittivity ($\varepsilon$) to the permittivity of free space ($\varepsilon_0$).

The material's conductivity in an electric field.

The capacitance decreases.

The capacitance increases.

The capacitance remains the same.

The capacitance becomes zero.

It causes the material to become conductive.

It creates an overall polarization of the material.

It neutralizes the external electric field.

It has no effect on the material.

Opposite to the direction of the electric field.

Perpendicular to the direction of the electric field.

In the direction of the electric field.

They do not move at all.

Only stretching of polar molecules.

Only rotation of polar molecules.

Stretching or rotation of polar molecules, or inducing polarization in nonpolar molecules.

Neither stretching/rotation of polar molecules nor polarization of nonpolar molecules.
