Question:

Three positive charges of equal value q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The resulting lines of force should be sketched as in :

Options:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Electric lines of force never form a closed loop. Therefore, options (b) and (d) are wrong. Electric lines of force emanate from positive charge and terminate on negative charge, therefore, option (a) is also wrong.
