In this article, we consider a simple toy model of two dimensional polarizable material consisting of a large number N of non-interacting electric dipoles each of moment μ. However, the moments can align themselves within the plane in only four (4) different ways instead of usual two ways with respect to an applied electric field E. We compute the polarization and orientational contribution of the specific heat of such a system with respect to electric field E and temperature T .
