Three point charges $+q, -2q$ and $+q$ are placed at points $(x = 0, y = a, z = 0)$,$(x = 0, y = 0, z = 0)$ and $(x = a, y = 0, z = 0)$ respectively. The magnitude and direction of the electric dipole moment vector of this charge assembly are

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}qa$ along $+y$ direction
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}qa$ along the line joining points $(x = 0, y = 0, z = 0)$ and $(x = a, y = a, z = 0)$
  • C
    $qa$ along the line joining points $(x = 0, y = 0, z = 0)$ and $(x = a, y = a, z = 0)$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}qa$ along $+x$ direction
