Answer the following question.
What is the unit of dipole moment?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Strength of a dipole is measured in terms of a quantity called the dipole moment.

- Let q be the magnitude of each charge and `2vec"l"` be the distance from the negative charge to the positive charge. Then, the product `"q"(2vec"l")` is called the dipole moment `vec"p"`.
- Dipole moment is defined as `vec"p"="q"(2vec"l")`
- A dipole moment is a vector whose magnitude is q (2l) and the direction is from the negative to the positive charge.
- The unit of dipole moment is coulomb-meter (C m) or debye (D).
