Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer

Explanation:

Electric dipole moment- The strength of the electric dipole is measured by the quantity of electric dipole moment. Its magnitude equal to the product of the magnitude of their charge and the distance between the two charges.

Electric dipole moment.

p=q×d

"It is a vector quantity"

In vector form it is written as

p =q×

d , where the direction of

d is form negative charge to positive charge.
