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) q1 is positive but q2 is negative (B)  q1 is negative but q2 is positive (C) both are negative (D) both are positive

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 q1 and q2 are negative charges.

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?

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

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

both are negative

both are positive

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.
