A point electric dipole of moment vec(p)...

A point electric dipole of moment `vec(p)_(1)=(sqrt(3)hat(i) +hat(j))` is held fixed at the origin. Another point electric dipole of moment `vec(p)_(2)` held at the point A (+a, 0, 0) will have minimum potential energy, if its orientation is given by the vector

A

`sqrt(3) hat(i) + hat(j)`

B

`hat(i) - sqrt(3) hat(j)`

C

`2sqrt(3) hat(i) - hat(j)`

D

`hat(i) - 2sqrt(3) hat(j)`
