This note contains Yukawa’s thoughts on the dipole electric moment as well as its calculations. If neutrons have an electric moment, neutrons are scattered by the electric field even though neutrons have no electric charge. Yukawa tried to solve the problem of scattering caused by the electric moment of the neutrons in a Coulomb field by using the Schrödinger equation. From page 2, Yukawa performs calculations using partial wave expansion, but to no avail.
