Question

An electric dipole consists of a particle with a charge of 6 x 10–6 c at the origin and a particle with a charge of –6 x 10–6 c on the x axis at x = 3 x 10–3 m. its dipole moment is:______.

Answer 1

An electric dipole consists of a particle with a charge of 6 x 10⁻⁶ c at the origin and a particle with a charge of –6 x 10⁻⁶ c on the x axis at x = 3 x 10⁻³ m. Its dipole moment is 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

Dipole moment of a dipole is dependent on the charge of the dipole and the distance between the two charges.

Electric Dipole consists of two charges which are equal and opposite in charge i.e. positive and negative charges.

Given,

Dipole moment, p = ?

Charge, q = 6 x 10⁻⁶C

Distance between charges, d = 3 x 10⁻³ m

Dipole moment (p) is given by:

p = charge x distance between the two charges

p = 6 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 x 10⁻³ Cm

p = 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

The dipole moment for the given charge configuration is 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm
