Three charges are arranged on the vertices of a right angle triangle as shown in the figure. The magnitude of dipole moment of the combination in the unit of C-cm is

  1. A \(10 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{q}\)
  2. B \(5 \mathrm{q}\)
  3. C \(5 \mathrm{q}\)
  4. D \(10 \mathrm{q}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10 \mathrm{q}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let side of \(\mathrm{AB}\) and \(\mathrm{BC}\) is a \( \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{a}^2=(10)^2 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & 2 \mathrm{a}^2=(10)^2 \\ & \mathrm{a}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} \end{aligned} \) The magnitude of dipole moment…
