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) | Q 1|>| Q 2| (B) | Q 1|<| Q 2| (C) at a finite distance to the left of Q1 the electric field is zero (D) at a finite distance to the right of Q2 the electric field is zero

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

Q. 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

$∣ Q_{1} ∣ > ∣ Q_{2} ∣$

$∣ Q_{1} ∣ < ∣ Q_{2} ∣$

at a finite distance to the left of $Q_{1}$ the electric field is zero

at a finite distance to the right of $Q_{2}$ the electric field is zero

Q. A few electric field lines for a system of two charges Q1​ and Q2​ fixed at two different points on the x-axis are shown in the figure. These lines suggest that

∣Q1​∣>∣Q2​∣

∣Q1​∣<∣Q2​∣

at a finite distance to the left of Q1​ the electric field is zero

at a finite distance to the right of Q2​ the electric field is zero
