(physics) The CGS unit of electric dipole moment, defined as 1 D = 10-18 statcoulomb-centimetre and computable from the SI unit coulomb-metre by multiplying by the factor 3.33564 Ă— 10-30.
• Historically defined as the electric dipole moment resulting from two equal but opposite charges of absolute magnitude statcoulomb separated by 1 ĂĄngström.
• It is used much more frequently than the SI unit, being suited for measurements at the molecular scale relevant to chemistry and atomic physics. In contrast, the SI unit is inconveniently large.
