Mention the direction of the electric dipole moment. Write the $SI$ unit of the electric dipole moment.
(N/A) The electric dipole moment $\vec{p}$ is a vector quantity defined as the product of the magnitude of one of the charges $(q)$ and the distance of separation $(2a)$ between them,directed from the negative charge to the positive charge.
Direction: The direction of the electric dipole moment is from the negative charge $(-q)$ to the positive charge $(+q)$.
$SI$ unit: The $SI$ unit of electric dipole moment is Coulomb-meter,denoted as $C \cdot m$.
Direction: The direction of the electric dipole moment is from the negative charge $(-q)$ to the positive charge $(+q)$.
$SI$ unit: The $SI$ unit of electric dipole moment is Coulomb-meter,denoted as $C \cdot m$.
