Figure shows the electric field lines around three point charges `A, B` and `C`. Which of the following charges are positive?

A

Only A

B

Only C

C

Both A and C

D

Both B and C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In the given figure, the electric lines of force emanate from A and C. Therefore, charges A and C must be positive.
