  • A
    The potential at the centroid of the triangle is zero.
  • B
    The dipole moment of the system is $\sqrt{3} qL$.
  • C
    The dipole moment of the system is $\sqrt{2} qL$.
  • D

As shown in the figure, a point charge $q_{1} = +1 \times 10^{-8} \ C$ is placed at the origin in the $x-y$ plane and another point charge $q_{2} = +3 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ is placed at the coordinate $(10, 0)$. In that case, which of the following graph$(s)$ shows most correctly the electric field vector $E_{x}$ in the $x$-direction?
