Answer to Question #203057 in Electric Circuits for Nabeel khan

Question

What is electric dipole? Give example. Define electric dipole moment and write its SI unit and its dimensional formula.

Answer 1

Answer:-

We define the electric dipole  as a couple of opposite charges q and –q separated by a distance d. We define Electric dipole moment as the product of charge and the distance between the charges and is directed from negative to positive charge.

 And SI unit of electric dipole moment is coulomb metre (Cm)

dimensional formula :- [M⁰ L¹ T¹ I¹]
