What is the dimension of the dipole moment?(a) [L T I](b) [L T I^2](c) [M L T I](d) [L T I^-1]This question was posed to me in an online interview.The doubt is from Electric Dipole topic in section Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (a) [L T I]

For explanation I would SAY: The dipole moment is DEFINED as the product of a charge and distance. The dimension of charge (current*time) is [I T] and the dimension of distance is [L]. Therefore the dimension of dipole moment is [L T I]. Its unit in the CGS and the SI system are esu*cm and C*m RESPECTIVELY.
