electric dipole

Examples

• All

• In one set of experiments, we accurately measured the neutron magnetic moment, and in a different series of experiments, we have searched for its electric dipole moment.

• We first undertook the electric dipole experiments in 1951 as a test of parity conservation because that symmetry was almost universally believed to exist at the time, but we planned later experiments as tests of time-reversal symmetry.

• So this thing has an electric dipole and therefore the energy.

• We'll also need to ignore that some of these molecules are electric dipoles.

• We have discussed electric dipole and magnetic dipole radiation.

• Thus, Laporte's rule, allowing electric dipole transitions only between even and odd states, was a consequence of parity invariance.

• In optics, the parameter to be varied is typically a medium's electronic susceptibility, the proportionality factor relating a driving field at a specific frequency to the induced electric dipole.

• Protected by the several layers of magnetic shielding visible at right, it was used by researchers at the Institut Laue-Langevin to set an upper bound of well below 10^-25 e-cm on the neutron electric dipole moment.

• An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges that are separated by a short distance.

• In chemistry, many molecules behave like electric dipoles when their positive and negative charges are unequally distributed.
