Question

The electric dipole moment of an electric dipole made
up of two opposite charges having magnitude
+3.2 x 10-1°C and -3.2 X 10-1°C separated by a
distance 2.4 x 10-1°m is

Answer 1

Answer:

use the formula dipole moment = distance between the charges × either charge

Answer 2

The electric dipole moment is 0.76Cm(Coulomb meter).

The formula for electric dipole moment for a pair of equal & opposite charges is given by p = qd.

Where q is the magnitude of the charges.

D is the distance between the two.

Hence, p = (3.2*2.4)/10.

Thus, p = .76 Cm.

The dipole moment is a vector quantity.

The direction of electric field is from negative to positive direction.
