Yeah, that's the exact question and no more information is provided. The value for x is something I plucked out of my book for the avg distance between the nucleus and electron cloud. Really, it was just grasping at straws. I understand, in a broad conceptual way, why P=Nqx, but I'm not sure...

Homework Statement Show that the polarization of a material is P=Nqx where x is the displacement between the center of the electron cloud and the atomic nucleus. Homework Equations P=Nqx is given and I went ahead and subbed (q/m) * E[1/(w0^2 - w^2)] for x. The Attempt at a Solution...
