Question

give the expression for the magnitude of its electric dipole moment and the direction ​

Answer 1

• Do remember that, the dipole moment is a vector measure whose direction runs from negative to a positive charge. The formula for electric dipole moment for a pair of equal & opposite charges is p = qd, the magnitude of the charges multiplied by the distance between the two.

Answer 2

ELECTRIC DIPOLE:

• A dipole consists of two unlike but equal charges present at a small separation.

• Dipole moment is a vector representing the polarity of a charge system.

• Frankly speaking, the direction of dipole moment is from the the negative charge towards the positive charge. (Refer to diagram).

$\therefore \: \mu = q \times d$

• $\mu$ is dipole moment, q is magnitude of charge and d is the distance between the charges.

In vector form:

$\therefore \: \vec{\mu} = (qd) \hat{ \mu}$

Hope It Helps.
