- Electric dipole: When two equal and opposite charges are separated by a small distance then this combination of charges is called an electric dipole.
- The multiplication of charge and the distance between them is called an electric dipole moment.
- The electric dipole moment is denoted by P and the SI unit of dipole moment is Coulombmeter (Cm)
Dipole moment (p) = q × d
Where q is charge and d is the distance between two charged particles.
- The direction electric dipole moment is from a negative charge to a positive charge.
EXPLANATION:
- From the above, it is clear that the unit of dipole moment is coulombmeter (Cm). Therefore option 2 is correct.
