An electric dipole is formed by two charges $+q$ and $-q$ located in xy-plane at $(0,2) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(0,-2) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively, as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $\mathrm{P}(100,100) \mathrm{mm}$ due to the dipole is $V_0$. The charges $+q$ and $-q$ are then moved to the points $(-1,2) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(1,-2) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. What is the value of electric potential at $P$ due to the new dipole?
  • A$\mathrm{V}_0 / 4$
  • B$\mathrm{V}_0 / 2$
  • C$\mathrm{V}_0 / \sqrt{2}$
  • D$3 \mathrm{~V}_0 / 4$
