A dipole is a molecule which has two magnetic poles
A '''dipole''' is a molecule which has two [[Magnetism|magnetic]] poles, caused by a non-zero total magnetic charge. The poles are normally denoted ''north'' and ''south'', respectively. Common dipole molecules are [[water]], [[ozone]] (but not atmospheric [[oxygen]] O<sub>2</sub>), and [[benzene]].
