Claimed by Summer Mia Bain (Spring 2017)

An electric dipole is created by the combination of two equal and oppositely charged atoms of charge q that are separated by a a distance ""s"". An electric dipole is the simplest piece of neutral matter that can be analyzed in detail. The size of the dipole is measured by its dipole moment "p" which is a product of its charge "q" and distance "s".

The Main Idea

State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic Electric Field of Capacitor

A Mathematical Model

The electric dipole moment is represented by the letter "p". This set is equal to the charge of the atom in an electric dipole multiplied by the distance between the atoms.

[math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{p} = \boldsymbol{s} \times\mathbf{q} }[/math]
