Identify the correct statement about the electric charges $q_1$ and $q_2$, from the figure given below. |
$q_1$ is positive and $q_2$ is negative $q_1$ is negative and $q_2$ is positive both $q_1$ and $q_2$ are negative both $q_1$ and $q_2$ are positive |
both $q_1$ and $q_2$ are positive |
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. |
