Polar molecules are the molecules:

A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move? 

The electric field at a point on the equatorial plane at a distance \(r\) from the centre of a dipole having dipole moment $\stackrel{}{}$\(\overrightarrow{P}\) is given by:
(\(r\gg\) separation of two charges forming the dipole, \(\epsilon_{0} =\) permittivity of free space) 
1. \(\overrightarrow{E}=\frac{\overrightarrow{P}}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}r^{3}}\) 

2. \(\overrightarrow{E}=\frac{2\overrightarrow{P}}{\pi \epsilon _{0}r^{3}}\)

3. \(\overrightarrow{E}=-\frac{\overrightarrow{P}}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}r^{2}}\)

4. \(\overrightarrow{E}=-\frac{\overrightarrow{P}}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}r^{3}}\)
