Three poistive charges of equal value q ...

Three poistive charges of equal value q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The resulting lines of force should be sketched as in

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Option (a) shows lines of force starting from one positive charge and terminating at another. Option(b) has one line of force making closed loop. Option(d) shows all lines making closed loops. All these are not correct. Only option(C ) is correct.
