D. [L T I-1]
Answer:A
What is the dimension of the dipole moment?
A. [L T I] B. [L T I2] C. [M L T I] D. [L T I-1]
Explanation: The dipole moment is defined as the product of a charge and distance. The dimension of charge (current*time) is [I T] and the dimension of distance is [L]. Therefore the dimension of dipole moment is [L T I]. Its unit in the CGS and the SI system are esu*cm and C*m respectively.
