Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) both \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Based on the convention for electric field lines, we can determine the signs of the charges by looking at the direction of the arrows: Rule: Electric field lines always point away from positive charges and toward negative charges. Observation: In the provided figure, the arrows…
