The distribution of the electric field due to charges A and B is shown in figure. The correct statement is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A is positive, B is negative and |A| < |B|
A is positive because the electric field lines start from positive and end at negative charge. (⇒ B is negative)
Also, $|A|<|B|$ because the number of field lines at B is greater then as compared to A.
