The figure shows the electric field lines in the vicinity of two point charges. Which one of the following statements concerning this situation is true ?

Options

A. `q_1` is negatuve and `q_1` is positive
B. The magnitude of ratio `(q_2//q_1)` is less than one
C. Both `q_1` and `q_2` havve the same sign of charge

D. The electric field is strongest midway between the charges

Answer

B

Explanation

Since field line are originating gron ` q_1` and terminating at ` q_2` to ` q_1` is lessthab ` q_1` so ` q_2 //q_1 lt 1`.
