1
A positive point charge causes a neutral
molecule to polarize, as shown below.
What is the direction of the electric force
on the point charge, due to the induced
dipole?
Question 4
A negatively charged ion is
located to the left of a neutral
molecule. Which diagram
correctly shows the polarization
of the neutral molecule?
Question 5
106737387
2
A negative point charge causes a
neutral molecule to polarize, as shown
below. What is the direction of the
electric force on the point charge, due
to the induced dipole?
Question 6
A point charge is brought near a
neutral molecule. (There is
nothing else nearby).
1. Yes. The molecule can
polarize so that it repels the
point charge.
Is it possible for the point charge
and the neutral molecule to repel
each other?
2. No. The molecule can
only polarize in a way that
will attract the point charge.
