dipolar

Having opposite charges

Having two poles or opposite charges.

In chemistry and physics, dipolar describes molecules or systems with regions of positive and negative charge separated by some distance: Water is a dipolar molecule, which explains many of its unusual properties.

The term appears in technical contexts discussing electromagnetic fields, molecular bonding, and interactions between charged particles.
