(picture of muon-g2 experiment at Fermilab) Question 9 : A charge is brought towards a neutral molecule, which becomes polarized and becomes an induced dipole. The electric force on this induced dipole by the charge is proportional to which power of (1/r)? (r = distance between the centers) Answer: 5 This example illustrates the force between an ion and an induced dipole. Other chemical bonds are the ion-ion, covalent and hydrogen bonds. More complicated forces between mo
