Question

define electric dipole moment

Answer 1

In physics, the electric dipole momentis a measure of the separation of positive and negative electricalcharges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity. The electric field strength of the dipole is proportional to the magnitude of dipole moment.

Answer 2

electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity. The SI units for electric dipole moment are coulomb-meter; however, a commonly used unit in atomic physics and chemistry is the debye.
