Question

The given figure gives electric lines of force due to two charges q1 and q2 . What are the signs of the two charges? (A) Both are negative (B) Both are positive (C)  q1 is positive but q2 is negative (D)  q1 is negative but q2 is positive

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The electric lines of force are directed from higher potential to lower potential. The lines are directed towards q1 and q2 from neighbouring points, so q1 and q2 both are negative (at lower potential).

Q. 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?

Both are negative

Both are positive

$q_{1}$ is positive but $q_{2}$ is negative

$q_{1}$ is negative but $q_{2}$ is positive

The electric lines of force are directed from higher potential to lower potential. The lines are directed towards $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ from neighbouring points, so $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ both are negative (at lower potential).

Q. The given figure gives electric lines of force due to two charges q1​ and q2​ . What are the signs of the two charges?

Both are negative

Both are positive

q1​ is positive but q2​ is negative

q1​ is negative but q2​ is positive

The electric lines of force are directed from higher potential to lower potential. The lines are directed towards q1​ and q2​ from neighbouring points, so q1​ and q2​ both are negative (at lower potential).
