Question

Define the term electric dipole moment. Is it a scalar or a vector quantity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric Dipole moment is the measure of the polarity of the system. It is the separation of positive charge and a negative charge by a distance. The SI unit of electric dipole moment is Coulomb-meter. The simplest example is a pair of electric charge of two opposite signs and equal magnitude separated by distance.It is a vector quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The electric dipole moment is a measure of the seperation of positiveand negative electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of system's overall polarity. Its SI unit is coulomb meter.

Electric dipole moment is not a scalar quantity it is a vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to product of charge of one dipole and distance between them its direction is from - q to + q. Its vector quantity is A.
