Question
What is the unit of dipole moment?
✓
Answer
i. Strength of a dipole is measured in terms of a quantity called the dipole moment.
ii. Let $q$ be the magnitude of each charge and $2 \vec{l}$ be the distance from negative charge to positive charge. Then, the product $q (2 \vec{l})$ is called the dipole moment $\vec{p}$.
iii. Dipole moment is defined as $\vec{p}= q (2 \vec{l})$
iv. A dipole moment is a vector whose magnitude is $q (2 \vec{l})$ and the direction is from the negative to the positive charge.
v. The unit of dipole moment is coulomb-metre ( $C$ m) or debye (D).
