    Question

    A cluster of charges with an electric dipole moment is often called-

    A.

    Electric dipoles

    B.

    Polarization

    C.

    Electric susceptibility

    D.

    Eddy currents

    Correct option is A



    An electric dipole consists of a pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. The dipole moment is a vector quantity that represents the strength and direction of the dipole. It is defined as the product of the magnitude of one of the charges and the distance separating the charges, and it points from the negative to the positive charge.
    · Electric dipoles: These are systems that have an electric dipole moment due to the separation of positive and negative charges. They are fundamental in the study of electric fields and interactions of charges.
    · Polarization: This refers to the orientation of dipoles within a material under the influence of an external electric field, causing a net dipole moment in the material.
    · Electric susceptibility: This is a measure of how much a material will become polarized in response to an applied electric field.
    · Eddy currents: These are loops of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field, according to Faraday's law of induction.
