Hi there.
Here is your answer.
The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of +ve and -ve electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity.

Dipole moments occur when there is a separation of charge. They can occur between two ions in an ionic bond or between atoms in a covalent bond; dipole moments arise from differences in electronegativity. The larger the difference in electronegativity, the larger the dipole moment. The distance between the charge separation is also a deciding factor into the size of the dipole moment. The dipole moment is a measure of the polarity of the molecule.
