1. AMoving P a small distance in any direction will not change the electric force on P.
2. BMoving P a small distance in direction Y will increase the electric force on P.
3. CMoving P a small distance in direction Z will increase the electric force on P.
4. DMoving P a small distance in direction X will increase the electric force on P.
