Question

The given figure gives electric lines of force due to two charges $ q_1 $ and $ q_2$. What are the signs of the two charges?

• A. $q_1$ is positive but $q_2$ is negative
• B. $ q_1$ is negative but $ q_2$ is positive
• C. both are negative
• D. both are positive

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Electric lines of force start from the positive charge and end at the negative charge. Since the electric lines for both the charges are ending, therefore both $ q_1$ and $q_2$ are negative charges.
