Question

As shown in the figure, a point charge $q_1=+1\times {10}^{-6}C$ is placed at the origin in x-y plane and another point charge $q_2=+3\times {10}^{-6}$ is placed at the co-ordinate (10, 0). In that case, which of the following graph(s) shows most correctly the eletric field vector in $E_x$ in x-direction?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

To the left of $q_1:\overline{E}$ is - ve and to the right of $q_2:\overline{E}$ is the + ve. Also there is a neutral point in between the charges as they are both positive charges.
