Dipole moment can be defined as the product of magnitude of charge and the distance of separation between the charges. Dipole moment may refer to:
- Electric dipole moment, the measure of the electrical polarity of a system of charges
- Transition dipole moment, the electrical dipole moment in quantum mechanics
- Molecular dipole moment, the electric dipole moment of a molecule.
- Bond dipole moment, the measure of polarity of a chemical bond
- Electron electric dipole moment, the measure of the charge distribution within an electron
- Magnetic dipole moment, the measure of the magnetic polarity of a system of charges
- Nuclear magnetic moment, the magnetic moment of an atomic nucleus
- Topological dipole moment, the measure of the topological defect charge distribution
- The second order coefficient of the multipole expansion of a function
Famous quotes containing the word moment:
“The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology.”
—Basil Bunting (19001985)
