the polarisation is proportional to the electric field within an isotropic medium that is contrary to non-isotropic medium

The animation demonstrates that in an isotropic medium, the polarization P\vec{P} is always parallel and proportional to the electric field E\vec{E}. In contrast, a non-isotropic medium can cause P\vec{P} to vary in both direction and magnitude, showing that the response to E\vec{E} depends on the material's internal structure.
