Question

Which figure represents the electric field lines of two negative point charges? Help

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is incomplete because the options are not given. We'll solve this question with the options.

There are two properties of negative charges which we have to consider to find the figure of its electrical field.

Firstly, for a negative charge, the electrical field lines are always directed radially outwards and they don't intersect.

Secondly, we know that similar charges repel each other, so there will be no electrical field present directly between these two negative charges. Electrical field line will be present between two charges only when there is a force of attraction.

Taking both of these facts into consideration, the electrical field line between two negatives is represented by the figure below.
