Question:

Two charges -10 nC and +10 nC are separated by 6 mm. What is the magnitude of the dipole moment?

Options:

$6 × 10^{-12} C m$

$6 × 10^{-11} Cm$

$6 × 10^{12} C m$

$6 × 10^{-10} C m$

Correct Answer:

$6 × 10^{-11} Cm$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $6 × 10^{-11} Cm$

The Dipole Moment $(\vec p)$ is,

$\vec p=q×d$

$=(10×10^{-9})×(6×10^{-3})$

$=6×10^{-11}Cm$
