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
Because electric field lines come out of the positive charge and go towards the negative charge. And field lines are always normal to conducting surface. The electric field lines never form closed loops.
