The lines of force of the electric field...

The lines of force of the electric field due to two charges `q` and `Q` are sketched in the figure. State if

A

`Q` is positive and `|Q|gt|q|`

B

`Q` is negative and `|Q|gt|q|`

C

`q` is positive and `|Q|lt|q|`

D

`q` is negative and `|Q|lt|q|`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`q` is the `+ve` because lines of force emerge from it and `|Q|lt|q|` because more lines emerge from `q` and less lines terminate at `Q`

Electric field lines due to charge

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 ?

In the adjoining figure, the electric field lines for charges q_1 and q_2 are shown. Identify the sign of the charges.

Figure shows some of the electric field lines due to three point charges q_, q_2 and q_3 of equal magnitude. What are the signs of each of the three charges?

A point charge q is placed at the origin . How does the electric field due to the charge very with distance r from the origin ?

The variation of electric field between two charge q_1 and q_2 along the line joining the charges is plotted against distance from q_1 (taking rightward direction of electric field as positive) as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement is
