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
Subce all the three chargesare of the same polarity , the lines of force of the elerctric field in the region around them cannot be clossed . Hence choices (a) , `b` and `d` are not possibe. Notice that in figure `b`, are not possible is a closed circular loop.
