The dipole moment of the water molecule $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ is $6.17\times 10^{?30}\mathrm{C}?\mathrm{m}$. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment $\vec{p}$ points in the $+x$-direction. A chlorine ion $\left({\mathrm{Cl}}^{?}\right)$, of charge $?1.60\times 10^{?19}\mathrm{C}$, is located at $x=3.00\times 10^{?9}\mathrm{m}$. Assume that $x$ is much larger than the separation $d$ between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. Find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. Part B What is the direction of the electric force. Is this force attractive or repulsive? attractive repulsive
