In this work, we present a parametrical characterization of the features of the total electric field induced in a material in response to an external incident field. We propose global parameters enabling characterization of the volume in which the squared modulus of the induced electric field is mainly concentrated, as well as the predominant state of polarization over the region where the power is significant. In addition, an uncertainty relationship is presented linking the region of concentration of the induced electric field and the region where its maximum rate of change occurs.
