Answer:
There are other details missing in the question. i.e 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 E = p/2πε0y3 can be used, where p is the dipole moment, and y is the distance between ions. A) What is magnitude______N B) Direction? +x-direction or -x-direction C) Is this force attractive or repulsive?
A) Magnitude of electric force = 6.576 x 10 raised to power -13 N
B) Since the force direction is always dependent on the electric field and electric field = F/q, since the chlorine has a negative charge as such the direction of the electric force will be in the X - direction
C) Since the charges are of different nature, as such the force between them will be ATTRACTIVE.
