Problem 327547 in WebAssign

A single Ar atom (polarizability 1.826e-40 C2 m/ N)is represented by the red sphere and a single electron is represented by the black dot. They are located at the positions shown, though they are drawn much larger than their actual radii. To measure their positions, click at the centers of the objects. Positions are shown in units of 10-6 m.

(a) What is the magnitude of the force on the electron due to the Ar atom at this instant? N

(b) What is the magnitude of the force on the Ar atom due to the electron at this instant? N


(c) At each object, sketch the force on the object. The lengths of the force vectors should be relatively correct. (In other words, if the force on one object is twice the force on the other object, then the larger force vector should be drawn twice as long as the other one.)
