Question

The figure below shows the electric field lines for two charges. The arrows have been intentionally omitted.


1)Compare |QA|, the magnitude of charge A, with |QB| the magnitude of charge B

2)Charge A and charge B have the same sign.

3)There is a place where the net electric field from A and B is zero.

Explanation / Answer

Qa > Qb as the no of field lines emerging from the Qa are more in number. no , they cant have the same sign , coz, the field lines cannot emerrge and terminate on two similar charges ,at one time. true. at infinity, the field due to both charges is zer0.
