Some types of molecules that do not possess an intrinsic electric dipole moment can be given one by an external electric field in a process called charge separation, or polarization. In this process, their internal charge distribution becomes distorted by the field, which results in the region of a molecule on the side in the direction of the field gaining a positive net charge and the region on the other side gaining a negative net charge. Both charges have equal magnitudes, and the electric neutrality of the molecule as a whole is maintained. The electric field is said to induce an electric dipole moment in such a molecule. When the field is canceled, the molecule reverts to its unpolarized state and loses its electric dipole moment.
The electric behavior of such a molecule can be modeled by a pair of ±1.60×10^−19 C charges connected by a spring with force constant 0.000711 N/m. The spring must be imagined as possessing zero relaxed length so that normally the charges overlap and the…

- Figure shows the charge distribution in a water molecule, which is called a polar molecule because it has an inherent separation of charge. Given water’s polar character, explain what effect humidity has on removing excess charge from objects.arrow_forwardBecause of their net negative charge, bacteria are easily attracted to and adhere to surfaces on which they can proliferate, forming bacterial biofilms, thin films of bacteria coating the surface. Bacterial biofilms are especially problematic on indwelling medical devices (IMDS), which are devices inserted into a patient and include catheters, heart valves, and artificial joints. Contaminated IMDS are the most common source of infection in humans. A number of mitigation methods are in use today, including antibacterial graphene oxide coatings and the use of electric fields and surface charges to repel bacteria.
