It consists of a set of same and opposite charges separated by a small distance. Let us consider some of the examples of the electric dipoles are HCl, CO 2 , Water etc. These are considered to be as the examples of the electric dipole because the separation distance between the negative and positive charged elements is very less.
The above figure is the example of H20 showing the angles between its elements. The dipole moment P is directed towards hydrogen from that of oxygen i.e. from negative to positive charge.
