What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| d | Separation vector from −q to +q (m) |
| p | Electric dipole moment (C·m) |
| q | Magnitude of either charge (C) |
When to use this
Direction from negative to positive charge. Used in molecular physics (HCl, H₂O). SI unit: C·m. Debye = 3.33×10⁻³⁰ C·m.
