Question

The diagram shows two charged objects, X and Y. 2 balls marked X on left and Y on right. The left ball has arrows emerging in all directions but to the right and all arrows either point to the left or immediately bend toward the left after emerging. The right ball has arrows emanating in all directions but to the left and all arrows either point to the right or immediately bend toward the right. Based on the field lines, what are the charges of the objects? X: positive Y: negative X: negative Y: positive X: negative Y: negative X: positive Y: positive
IT'S POSITIVE POSITIVE

Answer 1

Answer: X is positive and Y is positive.

Explanation:

Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

If two like charges are placed at a distance they tend to repel each other and hence the field lines emerging from each of them tend to move away from each other.

Field lines emerge from positive charge and go into negative charge.

From the given information, X and Y are both positive.
