Some facts#

The electric dipole moment for a system consisting of two or more point charges is defined as the below sum:

$\overrightarrow{p} = \sum_{i=1...n}{q_i \overrightarrow{r_i}}$
where:
- $\overrightarrow{p}$ - electric dipole moment of the whole system,
- $\overrightarrow{r_i}$ - a vector pointing to the i-th electric charge,
- $q_i$ - value of i-th charge,
- $n$ - number of charges in the system.
Dipole moment is a vector.
The dipole moment makes sense for neutral systems, i.e. where the sum of all charges is zero:

$\sum_{i=1...n}{q_i} = 0$
The unit of electric dipole moment in SI system is coulomb times meter:

$C \cdot m$
Another unit, used mainly by chemists and atomic physics, is 1 debye:

$1 D = 3,33564 \cdot 10^{-30} C \cdot m$
If the system with the dipole moment $\overrightarrow{p}$ is introduced into the external electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ , then the moment of force will act on it is:

$\overrightarrow{M} = \overrightarrow{p} \times \overrightarrow{E}$
Molecules with non-zero dipole moment are called polar. An example of such a molecule is water ( $H_2O$ ).
If the electric charges in the system are evenly distributed, then the dipole moment of such a system is zero. Examples of such systems are chemical molecules with a symmetrical structure such as carbon tetrachloride ( $CCl_4$ ). Such molecules are called apolar or non-polar.
