Question
Define electric dipole moment. Write its S.I. unit.
✓
Answer
Electric dipole moment is defined as the numerical product of charge and distance between the charges, and is directed from negative to positive charge.
Alternate Answer
$\overrightarrow{\text{p}} = \text{q}( 2 \overrightarrow{\text{a}})$
Unit: coulomb metre or Cm.
Alternate Answer

What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning?
(Hint: The earth has an electric field of about $100 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$ at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density $=-10^{-9} \mathrm{Cm}^{-2}$. Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere up to about 50 km (beyond which it is good conductor), about +1800 C is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does not get discharged since thunderstorms and lightning occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge on the earth.)
