Current electricity and ohm's law(Current electricity) :- •What is current? Rate of flow of electric charge with time through any cross section of a wire is called current. It is denoted by I . Thus if charge "dq" flows through a wire in small time "dt" then electric current through wire is given by :                                             I=dq/dt  1 ampere = 1coulomb/1 second  1A=C/s •Ampere :-                                                           The current Through a wire is called one ampere if one coulomb charge is flow through Any cross section of wire in one second   •Ohm's law:- Ohm’s principal discovery was that the amount of electric current through a metal conductor...

Electric dipole and electric dipole moment (electrostatic) | electostatic | physics

•Electric Dipole  (Electrostatics)

A system of two equal and opposite charges separated by certain distance is called electric dipole.

Change -q and +q at
Points A and B separated by distance of 2a=AB constitute an electric dipole.

           Electric Dipole Moment 

Electric dipole moment of an electric dipole is a vector direction from -ve charge to +ve charge and having magnitude equal to product of magnitude of either charge and distance between them. 

Direction of electric dipole moment is from -q  to +q .



•Some Boards exam level Question Answers:--


Q. 1) What is the SI units of electric dipole moment? 

Ans:- The SI units of electric dipole moment are Cm² (Coulomb meter²) .


Q. 2) What happens when the electric dipole is held in a non uniform electric field ?

Ans:- Some net force and torque do act on the dipole When the dipole sets itself parallel to the field torque becomes Zero, but net force persists. 


Q. 3) A torque on an electric dipole a vector or scalar  ?

Ans:- Vector, Since  τ= p × E


Q. 4) Define The turm electric dipole moment  ?

Ans:-  Electric dipole moment of an electric dipole is a vector direction from -ve charge to +ve charge and having magnitude equal to product of magnitude of either charge and distance between them.
