What is the relationship between charge (Q) and distance of separation (r) in the dipole moment equation?
Options
- AQ is inversely proportional to r.
- BQ is directly proportional to r.
- CQ is unrelated to r.
- DQ is equal to r.
Correct answer
B. Q is directly proportional to r.
Step-by-step solution
The dipole moment equation μ = Q × r indicates that charge (Q) is directly proportional to the distance of separation (r).
