NEET Physics Electric Dipole MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing an electric dipole with charges +q and -q separated by a distance 2a. Which vector best represents the dipole moment of this system?
A vector of magnitude 2qa pointing from -q to +q
A vector of magnitude 2qa pointing from +q to -q
A vector of magnitude qa pointing from -q to +q
A vector of magnitude qa pointing from +q to -q
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The electric dipole moment is defined as having a magnitude of 2qa and a direction from the negative charge -q to the positive charge +q.
