Two equal point charges are fixed at $x = -a$ and $x = + \,a$ on the $x$-axis. Another  point charge $Q$ is placed at the origin. The change in the electrical potential energy of $Q$ ehen it is displaced by a small distance $x$ along the $x$ -axis is apporximately proportional to

  • A

    $x$

  • B

    $x^2$

  • C

    $x^3$

  • D

    $1/x$
