Question

What is an electric dipole?

Open in App

Solution

An electric dipole is a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, separated by some (usually small) distance. The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity.
