Dipole vs. Bipole — What's the Difference?

In electromagnetism, there are two kinds of dipoles: An electric dipole deals with the separation of the positive and negative charges found in any electromagnetic system. A simple example of this system is a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign separated by some typically small distance.

(physics) A region of magnetic flux having two distinct poles

(Physics) A pair of separated electric charges or magnetic poles, of equal magnitude but of opposite sign or polarity.

An electrical power transmission line having two direct-current conductors in opposite polarity.

(Chemistry) A molecule having two such charges or poles.

(Electronics) An antenna, usually fed from the center, consisting of two equal rods extending outward in a straight line.

(physics) Any object (such as a magnet, polar molecule or antenna) that is oppositely charged at two points (or poles).

(chemistry) Any molecule or radical that has delocalised positive and negative charges.

(radio) A dipole antenna.

A pair of equal and opposite electric charges or magnetic poles separated by a small distance
