Question

Figure shows electric field lines due to a charge configuration, from this we conclude that (A) q1 and q2 are positive and q2 > q1 (B) q1 and q2 are positive and q1 > q2 (C) q1 and q2 are negative and |q1| > |q2| (D) q1 and q2 are negative and |q2| > |q1|

(i) Electric field lines originates from positive charge. (ii) Higher the number of field lines originating from positive charge, greater is magnitude of charge.

Q. Figure shows electric field lines due to a charge configuration, from this we conclude that

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are positive and $q_{2} > q_{1}$

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are positive and $q_{1} > q_{2}$

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are negative and $∣ q_{1} ∣ > ∣ q_{2} ∣$

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are negative and $∣ q_{2} ∣ > ∣ q_{1} ∣$

(i) Electric field lines originates from positive charge.
(ii) Higher the number of field lines originating from positive charge, greater is magnitude of charge.

Q. Figure shows electric field lines due to a charge configuration, from this we conclude that

q1​ and q2​ are positive and q2​>q1​

q1​ and q2​ are positive and q1​>q2​

q1​ and q2​ are negative and ∣q1​∣>∣q2​∣
