Calculate Electric Dipole Moment





Formula

The formula to calculate the Electric Dipole Moment (p) is:

\[ p = |q| \cdot r \]

Where:

Definition

Electric Dipole Moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electric charges within a system, used to describe the distribution of electric charge.

Magnitude of Electric Charge is the quantity of electric charge, a fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative, and is measured in coulombs.

Separation between Charges is the distance between two point charges in an electrostatic field, affecting the electrostatic force between them.

How to calculate Electric Dipole Moment

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ p = |0.0002831| \cdot 2119.85 \]

Evaluating:

\[ p \approx 0.6001 \, \text{Coulomb Meters} \]

The Electric Dipole Moment is approximately 0.6001 Coulomb Meters.
