We calculate the dynamic polarization potential for neutron-rich nucle
i arising from the Coulomb coupling of the elastic channel to: (i) the
break-up channel; (ii) the low-lying dipole mode, These potentials ar
e found to be different only by a numerical factor. The effect of thes
e polarization potentials on the elastic scattering of Li-11 + Pb-208
at E(CM) = 50 MeV is calculated.
