NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3cb119

The SI unit of dipole moment is

Acoulomb per metre
Bnewton metre
Ccoulomb metre ( $C m$ )
Ddebye per metre

Answer: C

Dipole moment is charge times distance, so its SI unit is

C m

. The debye is a non-SI unit,

1 D = 3.336 \times 1 0^{- 30} C m

.
