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

Two short dipoles $A$ and $B$, $A$ having charges $\pm 2 \mu C$ and length $1 \text{ cm}$, and $B$ having charges $\pm 4 \mu C$ and length $1 \text{ cm}$, are placed with their centres $80 \text{ cm}$ apart as shown in the figure.
