What Is the Electric Field of a Dipole? A dipole is a separation of opposite electrical charges and it is quantified by an electric dipole moment.

Animation showing the electric field of an electric dipole. The dipole consists of two point electric charges of opposite polarity located close together. A transformation from a point-shaped dipole to a finite-size electric dipole is shown. A molecule of water is polar because of the unequal sharing of its electrons in a "bent" structure.

Dipole electric field is a part of physics and it is discussed in detail in Chapter 1 electric charges and fields of the NCERT book of Class 12. It is considered an extremely important concept as it is prescribed by the Central board of secondary education that is the CBSE.

2024年4月18日 · We know well how to deal with single point charges and an infinite charged plan which generates a simple form of an electric field, but of course physical systems rarely behave in such a simple way. What we are going to look at here is a model for two point charges that are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign.

2025年1月15日 · Earlier we discussed, and calculated, the electric field of a dipole: two equal and opposite charges that are “close” to each other. (In this context, “close” means that the distance \(d\) between the two charges is much, much less than the distance of the field point \(P\), the location where you are calculating the field.)

2024年5月2日 · Torque on an Electric Dipole in a Uniform Electric Field; Electric potential of a dipole and system of charges; Electric Field of an Electric Dipole. Coulomb’s law and the superposition principle may be used to calculate the electric field of a pair of charges (–q and q) at any point in space.

When a dipole is immersed in a uniform electric field, as illustrated in Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\), the net force on the dipole is zero because the force on the positive charge will always be equal and in the opposite direction from the force on the negative charge.

If a permanent dipole is placed in an external electric field, it results in a torque that aligns it with the external field. If a nonpolar atom (or molecule) is placed in an external field, it gains an induced dipole that is aligned with the external field.

2023年4月16日 · Electric Field of an Electric Dipole. The electric field of an electric dipole can be constructed as a vector sum of the point charge fields of the two charges. As can be seen in the graphics, the electric field always points towards the negative particle and points away from the positive particle.

2024年5月27日 · Explore the fundamentals of electric dipoles, their charge dynamics, field behavior, and applications in physics, chemistry, and biology. An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite electric charges separated by a distance.
