Two point charges a & b, whose magnitudes are same are positioned at a certain distance from each other with a at origin. Graph is drawn between electric field strength at points between a & b and distance x from a. E is taken positive if it is along the line joining from a to b. From the graph, it can be decided that
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
a & b can't be both +ve or both – ve otherwise field would have been zero at their mid point.
b can't be positive even, otherwise the field would have been in –ve direction to the right of mid point.
