The spatial distribution of the electric field due to charges `(A,B)` is shown in figure. Which of the following statements is correct?

Options

A. `A` is `-ve` and `B+ve, |A|=|B|`
B. Both are `+ve` but `AgtB`
C. Both are `-ve` but `AgtB`
D. `A` is `+ve` and `B-ve` and `|A|gt|B|`

Answer

d

Explanation

Electric lines of force usually start (i.e., diverge out) from positive charge and end (i.e., converge) on negative charge or extends to infinity.
Thus, A is p[ositive charge and B is negative charge. Also density of lines at A is more than that at B, i.e., `|A| gt |B|`.
