N2 - The linear response of a grafted semiflexible polymer to a uniform force field was analytically calculated using the wormlike chain model. It was shown that the result is a function of the bending stiffness, the total contour length, the temperature and the orientation of the field with respect to that of the grafted end. The linear response of a wormlike chain with a periodic alternating sequence of positive and negative charges was analyzed. The effect of the finite intrinsic persistence length on the linear response to the external field was shown.
