Best Answer

When a dielectric ( insulator) is kept between the two plates of a charged condenser, the atoms or molecules are polarised due to shifting of + nucleus towards negative plate and negative electrons towards positive plate of the condenser. Naturally, any dielectric contains certain defects like grain boundaries, voids, dislocations etc. The migrating charges accumulate at these sites creating additional polarization. This polarization is called space charge polarization. The charges accumulate at the interfaces of the dielectric and condenser plates is called inter-facial polarization, is also one kind of space charge polarization.

Is the charge of an electric field determined by the effect the charge has on the space around it?

Whoa. Slow down. There's no such thing as "the charge of an electric field". The "field" is what goes on in the space around a charge. The characteristics of the field ... like whether it attracts or repels another charge, and how strongly, and in what exact direction ... depend on the magnitude of the charge, and on its physical shape and size. The charge is the charge. That's what causes the characteristics of the space around it. The characteristics of the space around it have no effect on the charge. An electron down in the core of the sun has exactly the same charge as an electron has in a lightning bolt, in a glass of water, in the huge electric current in a high-voltage power transmission line, or in the soft skin of a tiny newborn's tush.
