Question 1
The figure shows electric field lines arising from two small charged particles P and Q. Consider the following two statements:(i) | The charge on P is smaller than the charge on Q. |
(ii) | The electrostatic force on P is smaller than the force on Q. |
Question 2
Two stationary point charges q1 and q2 are shown in the figure along with a sketch of some field lines representing the electric field produced by them. What can you deduce from the sketch?Answer 1
Only (i) is true.Answer 2
q1 is negative and q2 is positive; the magnitude of q1 is less than the magnitude of q2.
