प्रश्न
Give the expression for the magnitude of its electric dipole moment and the direction.
उत्तर
- The magnitude of the dipole moment is given by the product of the magnitude of one of the charges and the distance between them.
`|vec "P"|` = 2qa
`vec "P" = "qr"_+ + (- "q") vec "r"_-`
where r̂+ is the position of vector of +1 from the origin and r̂– is the position vector of -q from the origin
`vec "P" = "qai" - "qa"(- hat"i") = 2 "qai"` - It is a vector quantity having direction along the dipole axis -q to +q.
- Unit: coulomb metre (Cm).
