Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( - \sqrt 3 q\ell \,\hat j\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\overrightarrow {\text{P}} | = {\text{qL}}\)

\({\overrightarrow {\text{P}} _{{\text{net}}}} = 2{\text{P}}\cos {30^\circ }( - \widehat {\text{j}})\)

\( = {\text{P}}\sqrt 3 ( - \widehat {\text{j}})\)

\( = \sqrt 3 {\text{qL}}( - \widehat {\text{j}})\)
