diploe vector

Hi ,
How to calculate the diploe vector of benzene ring?. what is the formula for calculating the diploe moment?.

Thanks in advance

The formula for the dipole moment is
[tex]
\bold d = \int \rho(\bold r)\bold r d^3 r\;,
[/tex]
where [itex]\rho[/itex] is the charge density as a funtion of the position [itex]\bold r[/itex]. Since the ring as a whole is neutral the choice of origin does not matter.
