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
