Electric dipoles
Storyboard 
When you have two equal charges but opposite sign we speak of a dipole. The field that generates a dipole is characteristic because the lines emerge from one of the charges and end in the other generating a closed pattern.

(ID 15799)
The dipole is constituted by two (di) electric charges equal in charge but of opposite sign. Thus they form an electric field with two poles that is a dipole.
