Problem

The pressure of saturated water vapor at 18◦C is 2⋅\cdot10³ Pa, and its dielectric constant is 1.0078. From these data, find the average dipole moment of a water molecule in an electric field of 10³ V/m. Reference books give the value of −0.61 ⋅\cdot 10⁻²⁹ Kl ⋅\cdot m for the dipole moment of water. How can I explain the discrepancy between the results? 208
