PHY 102 Electrostatics: Electric Charge and Coulomb's Law Objective Question

Question

What is the 'dipole moment' (p) of an electric dipole defined as?
Options
A p = Q/l
B p = Q + l
C p = Ql
Correct Answer
D p = kQ/l²
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The dipole moment is the product of the magnitude of one of the charges (Q) and the separation distance (l) between them.

Hint

Charge times distance.
