Question

The circles as shown in figure represent point charges. The blue one is negative, and the red one is positive.
If the charges are of the same magnitude, which arrow best represents the direction of the electric field at point P?

• A. $\nwarrow$
• B. $\nearrow$
• C. $\searrow$
• D. $\swarrow$
• E. $\leftarrow$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\swarrow$

The direction of electric field at P due to positive charge is to the left and due to negative to down .Thus the resultant field at P will be as shown in figure.Thus the answer will be option D.
