Two charges $+q$ and $-q$,each $1 \mu C$,are arranged as shown in the figure. If $x=2 \text{ cm}$ and $y=3 \text{ cm}$,then the potential difference $(V_A - V_B)$ is:

  • A
    $5.4 \times 10^2 \text{ V}$
  • B
    $5.4 \times 10^5 \text{ V}$
  • C
    $5.2 \times 10^2 \text{ V}$
  • D
    $2.7 \times 10^5 \text{ V}$
