The spatial distribution of the electric field due to charges `(A,B)`

1.	The spatial distribution of the electric field due to charges `(A,B)` is shown in figure. Which of the following statements is correct? A. `A` is `-ve` and `B+ve, \|A\|=\|B\|`B. Both are `+ve` but `AgtB`C. Both are `-ve` but `AgtB`D. `A` is `+ve` and `B-ve` and `\|A\|gt\|B\|`
Answer» Correct Answer - d Electric lines of force usually start (i.e., diverge out) from positive charge and end (i.e., converge) on negative charge or extends to infinity. Thus, A is p[ositive charge and B is negative charge. Also density of lines at A is more than that at B, i.e., `\|A\| gt \|B\|`.
