\text{Electric dipoles exist in the case of some molecules where actually the centres of +ve and -ve charges do not coincide. The electric force is not infinite since the value of charge is also too less}

electric dipole still exists bcoz fr a dipole 2 b present the charges necessarily need 2 b of opp. nature,nd since charges r of opp. nature than dipole will exist evn though in a vry small quantity....
