An electric dipole consists of a positive and negative charge of 4 μC. Each placed at a distance of 5 mm. The dipole moment for the system is
2 x 10-8 C-m
Given:
q = 4 μC = 4 × 10-6
d = 5 mm = 5 ×10-3
The dipole moment = charge x separation distance between them
p = q × d = 4 × 10-6 × 5 ×10-3
p = 2 x 10-8 C-m
