Which way does the dipole moment vector point?
AFrom positive to negative charge
BFrom negative to positive charge
CPerpendicular to the dipole axis
DToward the dipole centre
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. From negative to positive charge
By definition the dipole moment lies along the axis, pointing from –q to +q.
