The spatial distribution of the electric field due to two charges...

The spatial distribution of the electric field due to two charges (A,B)(A, B) is shown in figure. Which one of the following statements is correct? The spatial distribution of the electric field due to two charges (A, B) is shown in figure. Which one of the following

Options

  1. AAA is +ve and BB is -ve and ∣A∣>∣B∣|A|>|B|
  2. BAA is -ve and BB is +ve; ∣A∣=∣B∣|A|=|B|
  3. Cboth are +ve but A>BA>B
  4. Dboth are -ve but A>BA>B.

Correct answer

A. AA is +ve and BB is -ve and ∣A∣>∣B∣|A|>|B|

Step-by-step solution

The lines proceed from the positive and lines will reach BB, if BB is negative. The number of lines/unit area i.e. the density of lines is greater for the greater charge. AA is +ve, BB is -ve and ∣A∣>∣B∣|A|>|B|.
