Electric Dipole

An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite point charges -q and q, separated by a distance of 2a. The direction from q to -q is said to be the direction in space.

p=q×2a

where,

p denotes the electric dipole moment, pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge.
