For an electric dipole, if the magnitude of each charge is $10^{-10} \, \text{stC}$ and the distance between them is $1 \, \mathring{A}$, then the dipole moment is:

  • A
    $1 \, \text{Debye}$
  • B
    $2 \, \text{Debye}$
  • C
    $10^{-3} \, \text{Debye}$
  • D
    $3 \times 10^{-20} \, \text{Debye}$

When three electric dipoles are near each other,they each experience the electric field of the other two,and the three-dipole system has a certain potential energy. The figure below shows three arrangements $(1)$,$(2)$,and $(3)$ in which three electric dipoles are side by side. All three dipoles have the same magnitude of electric dipole moment,and the spacings between adjacent dipoles are identical. If $U_1$,$U_2$,and $U_3$ are potential energies of the arrangements $(1)$,$(2)$,and $(3)$ respectively,then:

The magnitude of the charge of an electric dipole is $3.2 \times 10^{-19} \ C$ and the distance between them is $2.4 \ \mathring{A}$. If it is placed in an electric field of $4 \times 10^5 \ V/m$,then its dipole moment (in $C-m$) is .......

What is a point dipole?

For a short dipole placed at origin $O$,the dipole moment $P$ is along the $x$-axis,as shown in the figure. If the electric potential and electric field at point $A$ (at distance $r$ on the $x$-axis) are $V_0$ and $E_0$,respectively,then the correct combination of the electric potential and electric field,respectively,at point $B$ (at distance $2r$ on the $y$-axis) is given by
