To sketch the electric field lines due to two equal positive charges near each other and a dipole, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Sketching the Field Lines for Two Equal Positive Charges 1. **Draw Two Positive Charges**: Start by drawing two circles to represent the two equal positive charges. Label them as \( +q_1 \) and \( +q_2 \). 2. **Indicate the Direction of Electric Field Lines**: Since both charges are positive, the electric field lines will radiate outward from each charge. 3. **Draw the Field Lines**: - From \( +q_1 \), draw several lines radiating outward in all directions. - From \( +q_2 \), do the same, ensuring that the lines from both charges do not cross each other. ...

  • Consider the following statements. I The magnetic field lines of a magnet (or a solenoid) form continuous closed loops. This is unlike the electric dipole where these field lines begin from a positive charge and end on the negative charge or escape to infinity. II The tangent to the field line at a given point represents the direction of the net magnetic field B at that point. III.
