Respuesta :

The correct diagram would be A) W

Answer: The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

When two like charges come closer to each other they will repel each other.

When two unlike charges come closer to each other they will attract.

[tex]q_1=+2\mu C,q_2=+3\mu C[/tex]

Force on [tex]q_1[/tex] due to [tex]q_2[/tex]:

[tex]F_{12}=k\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Force on [tex]q_2[/tex] due to [tex]q_3[/tex]:

[tex]F_{21}=k\frac{q_2\times q_1}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]F_{12}=F_{21}[/tex]

Therefore, equal force is exerting on both the charges. The diagram drawn by Raina marked "W" is correct. Hence the correct option is (A).
