What is Dipole Moment? - Experts Explain

AI Thread Summary
A dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a system, indicating the strength and direction of an electric dipole. The discussion highlights the existence of both electric and magnetic dipole moments, suggesting clarity on which type is being inquired about. Participants emphasize the importance of conducting preliminary research before asking questions to foster more productive discussions. It is noted that understanding the context and specific areas of confusion can lead to better responses. Engaging in self-research is encouraged to enhance comprehension of complex topics like dipole moments.

Note also that there is a magnetic dipole moment. Your question did not specify which one you are looking for.

It would be helpful if you also indicate to what extent have you tried to seek the answer yourself, and if after doing that, you have specific parts that you do not understand. With internet access, it is unusual for anyone to ask a question cold without having to do some research on his/her own.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
