dipole
A dipole refers to a pair of equal and oppositely charged or magnetized poles separated by a distance. This term is commonly used in various branches of physics and chemistry to describe properties such as electric charge or magnetic strength. An example would be an electric dipole which has a positive charge and a negative charge with a separation between them.

Dipole
In physics, there are several kinds of dipole: ⁕An electric dipole is a separation of positive and negative charges. The simplest example of this is a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, separated by some distance. A permanent electric dipole is called an electret. ⁕A magnetic dipole is a closed circulation of electric current. A simple example of this is a single loop of wire with some constant current flowing through it. ⁕A flow dipole is a separation of a sink and a source. In a highly viscous medium, a two-beater kitchen mixer causes a dipole flow field. ⁕An acoustic dipole is the oscillating version of it. A simple example is a dipole speaker. ⁕Any scalar or other field may have a dipole moment. Dipoles can be characterized by their dipole moment, a vector quantity. For the simple electric dipole given above, the electric dipole moment points from the negative charge towards the positive charge, and has a magnitude equal to the strength of each charge times the separation between the charges.
