Two Stationary Point Charges Q1 and Q2 Are Shown in the Figure

Question 21

Multiple Choice

Two stationary point charges q1 and q2 are shown in the figure along with a sketch of some field lines representing the electric field produced by them. What can you deduce from the sketch? Two stationary point charges q<sub>1</sub> and q<sub>2</sub> are shown in the figure along with a sketch of some field lines representing the electric field produced by them. What can you deduce from the sketch?   A) q<sub>1</sub> is negative and q<sub>2</sub> is positive; the magnitudes are equal. B) q<sub>1 </sub>and q<sub>2</sub> have the same sign; the magnitudes are equal. C) q<sub>1 </sub>is positive and q<sub>2</sub> is negative; the magnitude of q<sub>1</sub> is greater than the magnitude of q<sub>2</sub>. D) q<sub>1 </sub>is negative and q<sub>2</sub> is positive; the magnitude of q<sub>1 </sub>is less than the magnitude of q<sub>2</sub>. E) q<sub>1 </sub>and q<sub>2</sub> have the same sign; the magnitude of q<sub>1</sub> is greater than the magnitude of q<sub>2</sub>.
