What is the SI unit of electric dipole moment?
A. Coulomb-meter (C·m)✓ Correct Answer
B. Volt-meter (V·m)
C. Newton per coulomb (N/C)
D. Farad (F)
💡 Solution & Explanation
The electric dipole moment is a measure of the overall polarity of a system of charge, calculated as the product of the magnitude of the charge and the displacement vector separating the two charges, yielding the SI unit Coulomb-meter. Other units listed represent distinct electromagnetic or mechanical parameters, such as electrical potential gradient or capacitance.
