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.
