Three positive charges each having the value q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The resulting lines of force should be sketched as

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (c)

The tangent drawn to a line of force at any point on it must give the direction of the electric intensity at that point. Consider a point midway between any two of the charges. Here, the resultant intensity is only that due to the third charge and must point away from the third charge. This is satisfied only in the sketch (c).
