Question

The induced dipole moment of a non-polar molecule is
directly proportional to applied electric field.
directly proportional to applied magnetic field.
inversely proportional to applied magnetic field.
inversely proportional to applied electric field.

Answer 1

Answer:

option 1) is your answer

Answer 2

Given:

The induced dipole moment of a non-polar molecule is

To find:

Whether its directly or inversely proportional to the electric or magnetic field.

Solution.

From given we have,

The induced dipole moment of a non-polar molecule is

The dipole moment is induced in the direction of the field

And this dipole moment is directly proportional to the strength of the electric field

Even the nonpolar material is subject to.

Therefore, the option (A) directly proportional to the applied electric field is correct.
