The given figure gives electric line of force due to two charges `q_(1)` and `q_(2)`. What are the signs of the two charges ?

A

Both are negative

B

Both are positive

C

`q_(1)` is positive but `q_(2)` is negative

D

`q_(1)` is negative but `q_(2)` is positive

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since the lines of forces are terminating on the charges both have to be negative.
