Question

The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17 x 10^-30. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipolemoment points in the+x-direction. A chlorine ion (Cl-), of charge-1.6 x 10^-19 , is located at x = 3x10^-9. Assume that x is muchlarger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, sothat the approximate expression for the electric field along thedipole axis can be used. a.) Find the magnitude of the electric forcethat the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. F = _____ N b.) What is the direction of the electricforce. (+ x direction or - x direction ?) c.) Is this force attractive or repulsive?(attractive or repulsive? ) The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17 x 10^-30.
