In a polar dielectric, permanent dipole moments align with an applied electric field, increasing the polarization P\mathbf{P}. In a nonpolar dielectric, induced dipole moments arise from charge separation within molecules. For both types, the macroscopic relationship D=ε0E+P=κε0E\mathbf{D} = \varepsilon_0 \mathbf{E} + \mathbf{P} = \kappa\varepsilon_0\mathbf{E} holds. A student argues: *'Since polar dielectrics have larger permanent dipole moments, they always have a larger dielectric constant κ\kappa than nonpolar dielectrics at room temperature.'* Which of the following best evaluates this claim?
