answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Any two point charges which are equal in magnitude but have opposite signs and are separated by very small distance are said to be “electric dipole”

The electric dipole moment for a pair of opposite charges of magnitude q is defined as the magnitude of the charge times the distance between them and the defined direction is toward the positive charge.
 
It is a useful concept in atoms and molecules where the effects of charge separation are measurable, but the distances between the charges are too small to be easily measurable.
It is also a useful concept in dielectrics and other applications in solid and liquid materials.
