Question

Explain the terms broad on and end on in dipole moment.

Answer 1

Step 1: Dipole moment:

1. We refer to dipole moment $\left(\mu \right)$ as the charge magnitude $e$ multiplied by the distance between negative and positive charges.
2. By default electric dipole moment always point from negative charge $-q$ to positive charge $q$ in space.
3. Intersection helps us in establishing the dipole's center between $q$ and $-q$.
4. Example: We can call it an electric dipole when it is a pair of electric charges with equal magnitude and opposite charges separated by a distance.
5. Demonstrating with the help of a diagram.

Step 2: Broad on and end on in dipole moment.

Broad on in dipole moment	End on in dipole momenet
In the case of an electric dipole, the broad on the position is the direction transverse to the dipole's axis.	The longitudinal direction along the axis of an electric dipole is referred to as the end on position.
