    The spatial distribution of the electric field due to charges (A, B) is shown in figure. Which one of the following statements is correct?

    A) A is +ve and B -ve and \[\left| A \right|>\left| B \right|\]

    B) A is -ve and B + ve;\[\left| A \right|=\left| B \right|\]

    C) Both are +ve but A > B

    D) Both are -ve but A > B

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Electric lines of force usually start (i.e., diverge out) from positive charge and end (i.e., converge) on negative charge or extends to infinity. Thus, A is positive charge and B is negative charge. Also density of lines at A is more than that at B, ie., \[|A|>|B|.\]
