Charges –q and +q located at A and B, respectively, constitute an electric dipole. Distance AB = 2a, O is the mid point of the dipole and OP is perpendicular to AB. A charge Q is placed at P where OP = y and y >> 2a. The charge Q experiences an electrostatic force F. If Q is now moved along the equatorial line to P' such that OP' = (y/3). the force on Q will be close to:

(1) 9F
(2) 3F
(3) F/2
(4) 27F
