Answer: Dipole moment
=3.43* 10^(-30) Cm

Explanation: Dipole moment is defined as product of magnitude of the charge and the distance between the charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign is called as dipole moment.

$\mu= e* d$

$\mu=\text{dipole moment}$

$e=\text{magnitude of charge}$

$d=\text{distance between the charges}$

S.I unit of dipole moment is Debye (D).

Debye was defined as the dipole moment resulting from two charges of opposite sign but an equal magnitude of
10^(-10) stat coulomb (generally called e.s.u. (electrostatic unit) which were separated by 1 angstrom.(1 angstrom
=10^(-8) cm)
