Three charges $q, -2q$ and $q$ are placed at $(x=0, y=a, z=0)$,$(x=0, y=0, z=0)$ and $(x=a, y=0, z=0)$ respectively. What is the resultant electric dipole moment?

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}qa$,directed from $(x=0, y=0, z=0)$ to $(x=a, y=a, z=0)$
  • B
    $qa$,directed from $(x=0, y=0, z=0)$ to $(x=a, y=a, z=0)$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}qa$,directed along $+x$-direction
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}qa$,directed along $+y$-direction

An electric dipole of moment $p$ is placed at the origin along the $x$-axis. The electric field at a point $P$,whose position vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,will make an angle $\phi$ with the $x$-axis. If $\tan \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \tan \theta$,where $\alpha$ is the angle between the electric field vector and the position vector,then the angle $\phi$ that the electric field makes with the $x$-axis is:
