Twodiameter insulating spheres have aspace between them. One sphere is charged to, the other to. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two spheres?
An electric field can induce an electric dipole in a neutral atom or molecule by pushing the positive and negative charges in opposite directions. The dipole moment of an induced dipole is directly proportional to the electric field. That is, , where is called the polarizability of the molecule. A bigger field stretches the molecule farther and causes a larger dipole moment.
