Dipole Moment: what does it really represent?
We can split the charge density into the positive and negative regions:
$$\rho = \rho_+ - \rho_-,$$
where $\rho_+$ and $\rho_-$ are non-negative functions. By doing this, the dipole moment integral sp …

Is a capacitor a dipole? A few more questions about understanding dipoles
Capacitors are technically dipoles, but the two things are usually studied in opposite approximations. With a capacitor, you want to look at it up close, and calculate the electric field between the t …
