Positions of charges -q and +q and points P1, P2, and P3.
Positions of charges -q and +q and points P1, P2, and P3.
An electric dipole consists of two point charges, \(-q\) and \(+q\), fixed on the \(x\)-axis at positions \(x = -d/2\) and \(x = +d/2\), respectively. Three points in space are identified as follows:

* Point \(P_1\) is located at the origin \((0, 0)\).
* Point \(P_2\) is located on the \(x\)-axis at \((d, 0)\).
* Point \(P_3\) is located on the \(y\)-axis at \((0, d/2)\).

Which of the following correctly ranks the magnitudes of the net electric field \(E_1\), \(E_2\), and \(E_3\) at points \(P_1\), \(P_2\), and \(P_3\), respectively?
