what is electric dipole and electric dipole moment
Answers
Answer:
Electric dipole : An electric dipole is a separation of positive and negative charges. The simplest example of this a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude bit opposite sign, separated by some (usually small) distance.
Electric dipole moment : It is a measure of the separation of negative and positive electrical charges within a system,that is, a measure of system's overall polarity.
The SI unit is coulomb- metre (C.m) . However, a commonly used unit in atomic physics and chemistry is debye ( D).
★Electric dipole and electric dipole moment:—
A system is called electric dipole in which two equal and opposite charge situated to each other at a short distance.
The product of charge and short distance of to charge in electric dipole is called electric dipole moment.
It is denoted by "P".
P = q ×2l
P = 2ql
