Dipole Field

Definition

A dipole field refers to a configuration where both positive and negative charges exist together in equal amounts, creating balanced electric fields. It is characterized by having two poles - a positive pole (north) and a negative pole (south).

Electric Dipole: An electric dipole consists of two equal but opposite charges separated by a small distance. It is used to describe the behavior of molecules or atoms with permanent charge separation.

Electric Potential:

Electric potential refers to the amount of work needed to move a unit positive charge from infinity to a specific point in an electric field. It represents the potential energy per unit charge at that point.

Coulomb's Law:

Coulomb's law states that the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
