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 $C \cdot m$.

View SolutionThree point charges $q, -2q$ and $q$ are placed along the $x$-axis at $x = -a, 0$ and $a$ respectively. As $a \rightarrow 0$ and $q \rightarrow \infty$ while $qa^2 = Q$ remains finite,the electric field at a point $P$,at a distance $x$ $(x \gg a)$ from $x = 0$ is $E = \frac{\alpha Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 x^\beta} \hat{i}$.
