Polar molecules are the molecules
Having zero dipole moment
Acquire a dipole moment only in the presence of electric field due to displacement of charges
Acquire a dipole moment only when magnetic field is absent
Having a permanent electric dipole moment
In polar molecules, the centre of positive charges does not coincide with the centre of negative charges. Hence, these molecules have a permanent electric dipole moment of their own.
