NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing two point charges, q1 and q2, placed at a distance 'r' apart. In this scenario, if q1 is positive and q2 is negative, what is the direction of the force on q1 due to q2?
A
Along the line joining q1 and q2 towards q2
B
Along the line joining q1 and q2 away from q2
C
Perpendicular to the line joining q1 and q2
D
No force acts on q1
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
From the context, if q1 and q2 are of opposite signs, the force F21 is along -r̂21, indicating attraction. Thus, the force on q1 is towards q2.
