Three positive charges of equal value q ...

Three positive charges of equal value q are placed vertices of an equilarteral triangle. The resulting lines of should be sketched as in :-

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Notice how electric field lines are applying lateral force on each other in between two charges, because all the three charges are similar.
