The
debye (symbol:
D) is a non-
SI and non-
CGS unit of electrical
dipole moment. It is defined as 10
-18 statcoulomb centimeter (or 10
-20 esu m). In
SI units, 1 D equals 3.33564*10
-30 coulomb meter. It is named after the physicist
Peter J.W. Debye.
The debye is still used in
atomic physics and
chemistry. The
dipole moments of atoms and molecules are typically on the order of the "
atomic unit of electric dipole moment" (
Bohr radius times
elementary charge), which is about 2.54 D for which the SI units are inconveniently large unless prefixes are added to both units (for example, 2.54 D = 8.47 fC·fm).

Do you know how hard it is to get a link from a large encyclopaedia? Well we're different and will prove it. To get a link from us just add the following HTML to your site on a relevant page:
<a href="http://debye.totallyexplained.com">Debye Totally Explained</a>
Then simply click through this link from your web page. Our crawlers will verify your link, extract the title of your web page and instantly add a link back to it. If you like you can remove the words Totally Explained and embed the link in article text.
As long as your link remains in place, we'll keep our link to you right here. Please play fair - our crawlers are watching. Your site must be closely related to this one's topic. Any kind of spamming, dubious practises or removing the link will result in your link from us being dropped and, potentially, your whole site being banned. |
