Dipole moment is the measure polarity of a polar covalent bond .
In language of physics it can be defined as the measure of strength of electric dipole. It is defined as the product magnitude of charge on the atoms and the distance between the two bonded atoms. Its common unit is debye and SI unit is coulomb metre.
The magnitude of dipole moment is equal to the product of either charge and the distance between the charges and its direction is from -q to +q.It is directed from the (-)ve charge to the (+)ve charge.In fact, it is the behavior of a dipole.

For example H2O has a negative oxygen and two positive hydrogen atoms, which gives the molecule a permanent electric dipole moment.

Why does Dipole-dipole interaction depends on electronegative?
because dipole moment depends upon charge i.e. electronegativity as per the formula of dipole moment
Is NH3 has zero dipole moment?
NH3 is polar compound.So dipole moment is not zero.
What is the dipole moment for CCI4?
It is a symmetrical tetrahedral molecule so has zero dipole moment.
Dipole moment vector of water molecule?
dipole moment of water is 1.85 Debye
Is ccl4 a dipole moment?
Probably you are intending to question whether CCl4 has a dipole moment. if so the answer is no. it is because CCl4 is a symmetric molecule and hence even if each bond has a dipole moment, the algebraic sum of the dipole moments of all the four bonds cancel out resulting in zero dipole moment.
