When two electrical charges, of opposite sign and equal magnitude, are separated by a distance, a dipole is established. The size of a dipole is measured by its dipole moment . Dipole moment is measured in Debye units, which is equal to the distance between the charges multiplied by the charge
Dipolemoment 'D' = e x d where e= charge and d= distance by which charge is separated. In this case e = charge on electron = 1.6 x10^-19 C

Dipolemoment 'D' = e x d where e= charge and d= distance by which charge is separated.
In this case e = charge on electron = 1.6 x10^-19 C
D = 1.6 x10^-19 C ( 1x10^-10 m) =1.6x10^-29 Cm
p=q x D = 1.6 x 10^- 19x85x 10^-12 = 3.7 D
dipole moment is defined as product of charge and distance between between.
[tex]P = qd[/tex]
[tex]q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C[/tex]
[tex]d = 80 pm = 80 \times 10^{-12} m[/tex]
[tex]P = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(80 \times 10^{-12})[/tex]
[tex]P = 1.28 \times 10^{-29} Cm[/tex]
so above is the dipole moment of the given charges
