Question

A few electric field lines for a system of two charges $Q _{1}$ and $Q _{2}$ fixed at two different points on the $x$-axis are shown in the figure. These lines suggest that

• A. $\left| Q _{1}\right|>\left| Q _{2}\right|$
• B. $\left| Q _{1}\right|<\left| Q _{2}\right|$
• C. at a finite distance to the left of $Q_{1}$ the electric field is zero
• D. at a finite distance to the right of $Q_{2}$ the electric field is zero

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

No. of electric field lines of forces emerging from $Q _{1}$ are larger than terminating at $Q _{2}$
