A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a polar molecule.
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.
Two opposite electric charges separated by a short distance are called an electric dipole.
Polarpolar
Attraction or repulsion of electric charges is called electrostatic force. This force can either attract opposite charges together or repel like charges apart.
A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends is called a polar molecule. This occurs when there is an unequal distribution of electrons, leading to regions of positive and negative charge. Water (H2O) is a common example of a polar molecule with oxygen carrying a partial negative charge and hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge.
A polar molecule has regions of opposing charge. For example in water the hydrogen are in a relatively positive area, as compared to the highly electronegative oxygen. The bent or L-shape to water is because of this polarity.
An electric (or electrostatic) attraction.
The two types of electric charge are positive and negative. Positive charges repel each other, as do negative charges, while opposite charges attract each other.
The flow of electric charges is current.
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
Stationary electric charges are called static charges. These charges do not move and are typically found on objects that have gained or lost electrons.
