normal

Electric charges $q, q, -2\,q$ are placed at the comers of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ of  side $l$. The magnitude of electric dipole moment of the system is

A

$ql$

B

$2\,ql$

C

$\sqrt 3 \,ql$

D

$4\,ql$

Solution

$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{net}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{p}^{2}+\mathrm{p}^{2}+2 \mathrm{pp} \cos 60^{\circ}}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{p}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{q} l$

$(\because \mathrm{p}=\mathrm{q} l)$
