Question

What is the significance of electric dipole?

Answer 1

Answer: Study of electric dipole helps to understand the applications and behaviour of polar molecules having permanent electrical dipole moment even in absence of electric field. In most molecules, the centre of positive charge and centre of negative charge coincide, hence their dipole moment is zero

Answer 2

Answer:

Physical Significance of Electric Field. An electric field is an elegant way of characterising the electrical environment of a system of charges. The electric field at any point in space around a system of charges represents the force a unit positive test charge would experience if placed at that point.
