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

Answer

A

Explanation

Electric lines of force usually stare (i.e. diverge out) from positive charge and end (i.e. converge) on negative charge or extends to infinity.
