A) \[I=2\] along +y direction
B) \[I\] along the line joining points (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) and (x = a, y = a, z = 0)
C) \[I\] along the line joining points (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) and (x = a, y = a, z = 0)
D) \[I\] along + x direction
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Key Idea Electric dipole moment is a vector quantity directed from negative charge to the similar positive charge. Choose the three coordinate axes as x, y and z and plot the charges with the given coordinates as shown. O is the origin at which -2q charge is placed. The system is equivalent to two dipoles along x and y-directions respectively. The dipole moments of two dipoles are shown in figure.You need to login to perform this action.
