The figure shows the electric field lines in the vicinity of two point charges . Which one of the following statements concerning this situation is true ?
Number of electric field lines coming out of a charge represents magnitude of charge. Here number of field line coming out of q1 is more than that of q2 so, |q2/q1 |<1.
Three positive charges of equal value q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle . The resulting lines of force should be sketched as in
Option 1 is wrong as electric field lines will emerge out of +ve charge and should submerge only at -ve charge.
Option 2 is wrong as electric field lines can not be circular loop.
Option 3 is correct.
Option 4 is wrong because it is representing equipotential surface not field lines
For the figure shown, what is the ratio of the charges q2/q1, where the figure shown has a representation of the field lines in the space near the charges
Number of Electric Field line is proportional to amount of charge. so,
\[ \frac{Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}=\frac{-6}{9}=\frac{-2}{3} \]
The figure below shows the electric field lines due to two positive charges. The magnitudes \(E_{A},E_{B} and E_{C}\) of the electric fields at points A, B, and C respectively are related as :
Number of Electric field line in space represents electric field intensity. As number of field line is maximum at A followed by B then at C. so, \(E_{A}>E_{B}>E_{C}\)
