Question
An atom of a rare gas is placed is an electric field E. Then
Options
A. the nucleus will be shifted in the direction of E by an amount which is proportional to E.
B. the nucleus will not be shifted.
C. the nucleus will be shifted in the direction of E by an amount which is independent of E.
D. the nucleus will be shifted in a direction opposite to that of E.

Correct Answer

the nucleus will be shifted in the direction of E by an amount which is proportional to E.

Explanation

For equilibrium nucleus is shifted in the direction of E by an amount which is proportional to E.
