This is from my note regarding inductive effect

NO2 > F>COOH>CL>BR>I>OH> OR>H>CH3

Does this mean NO2 can have the strongest dipole moment? Am I understanding right?

thank you.

Yes you are partly right. Dipole moment is charge separation *distance. NO2 will exert a greater pull.
 
Inductive effect makes for a stronger acid with an electron pulling atom attached. Fluorine being the most electronegative would make it easier for a proton to "fall" off.

I think I misunderstood your question? Sorry
