What is the dipole moment of the most stable conformer of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane?

Question

I want to know about the dipole moment of this molecule. I think the molecule has no dipole moment, but a book says me that it has a dipole moment.

$\begingroup$ Why do you think it has 0 dipole moment? $\endgroup$

The dipole moment is 2.45 Debye. The molecule is dipolar as you have asymmetrical electron distribution around both the carbon atoms.
