Hellman-Feynman Theorem

The Hellman-Feynman Theorem, which expresses the dipole moment as minus derivative of the energy of the system with respect to the field. This equation expresses the response of a molecule which is 2nd order in terms of the energy of the molecule and first order in terms of the dipole moment of the molecule (1st order or 2nd order with respect to the field).
