Identify the correct statement about the electric charges $q_1$ and $q_2$, from the figure given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → both $q_1$ and $q_2$ are positive
Electric field lines always originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
In the given figure, the field lines around both $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are directed outward. This indicates that both charges are positive.
Correct statement: Both $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are positive.
