Question

30) Two stationary point charges q1 and q2 are shown in Figure 15-4 the sketch along with some electric field lines representing the field between them. What can you deduce from the sketch? A) q1 and q2 have the same sign; the magnitude of q is greater than the magnitude of q2. B) q1 is positive and q is negative; the magnitude of q is Less than the magnitude of q2. C) q1 is negative and q is positive; the magnitudes are equal D) q1 is positive and q is negative; the magnitude of q1 is greater than the magnitude of q2 . E) q1 and q2 have the same sign; the magnitudes are equal.

Explanation / Answer

The correct choice is D.

Since electric lines of force starts from positive charge and end at negative charge. Which implies q1 is positive charge and q2 is negative charge.

Electric lines of forces in the above diagram are more apart (more far) near q1 than q2. which indiacates that magnitude of q1 is greater than q2.
