Debye to millidebye

Type a value in D to get it in mD instantly.

1,850mD

That's about the same as water. That is a whole electron charge separated by about 38.52 picometers.

What it means

How polar is that?

These are gas-phase molecular dipole moments. In a liquid, neighboring molecules polarize each other and the effective value is larger.

The math

How to convert D to mD

To convert debye to millidebye, multiply by 1,000.

Example: 1.85 D × 1,000 = 1,850 mD.

In the other direction, 1 mD = 0.001 D.
