define dipole of moment. is it a scalar or vector

Answers

Answered by kaushikravikant

Dipole moment is the product of change and the distance between them. A dipole is formed by equal charge separation. It is a vector quantity.

kvnmurty: in the product q * 2 a... 2a is the displacement from -q to +q. Its direction is from -q to q. So it is a vector... That is why the dipole moment is a vector.

Dipole is a system of consisting two equal & opposite charges , & Dipole moment is nothing but the product of charge(since they are equal in magnitude) & the distance between them .

Dipole moment can be calculated as , It is represented by P(vector) i.e.

P(vector) = q × 2l

where , 2l is the distance between them , Direction of dipole is from -ve to +ve
