In CGS unit dipolemoment is expressed as debye1 Debye = 10-10 esu  (this is because the dipole moment resulting from two cahrges ofopposite sign but the magnitudes are same)    = 1299792458  × 10-21 Cm    = 3
33 × 10-30 Cm

Dipole moment is usually expressed in debye units . From the formula the unit of dipole moment is coulomb metrev. The relation between both units of dipole moment is ?
