For the charge configuration shown here, which of the following is not true?


  1. A \(\left|q_1\right|=\left|q_2\right|\)
  2. B \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) are negative
  3. C \(\left|q_1\right|>\left|q_2\right|\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{q_1}{q_2}=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left|q_1\right|>\left|q_2\right|\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges. In the given figure, the field lines are directed towards both \(q_1\) and \(q_2\). This indicates that both \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) are negative charges. The number of electric field lines…
