The diploe momentum is directed --------------------

The diploe momentum is directed -------------------- Correct Answer from negative to positive charge

CONCEPT :

  • An electric dipole is pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a distance of 2a, the midpoint of locations -q and + q is called the centre of the dipole.
  • The total charge of an electric dipole is zero
  • Electric dipole moment is the product of the magnitude of one charge multiplied by the distance of separation between the charge and is given by

P = 2a × q

Where P = diploemomentum, 2a = Distance between the charge, q = Charge

EXPLANATION :

  • Electric dipole moment is the product of the magnitude of one charge multiplied by the distance of separation between the charge and is given by

P = 2a × q

  • The diploe moment is directed from negative to the positive charge
