Question

what is an electric dipole? define electric dipole moment and state its S.I. unit and dimensions ​

Answer 1

Answer:

ELECTRIC DIPOLE:

Any two point charges which are equal in magnitude but have opposite signs and are seperated by a small distance called electric dipole.

ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT:

The 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 (C⋅m); however, a commonly used unit in atomic physics and chemistry is the debye.

SI UNIT:

columb -meter

DIMENTION:

lenghth *time *electric current.

Answer 2

Answer:

An electric dipole is a separation of positive and negative charges.

The electric dipole moment is the product of the magnitude of the charge and the distance between the centres of positive and negative charges.
