NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing two point charges, q1 and q2, placed at a certain distance apart in a vacuum. The force between these charges is depicted by vectors pointing towards each other or away from each other. Based on the diagram, which statement correctly describes the direction of the force vectors if q1 is positive and q2 is negative?
The force vectors are directed towards each other indicating attraction.
The force vectors are directed away from each other indicating repulsion.
The force on q1 is directed towards q2, but the force on q2 is directed away from q1.
The forces are neutral and do not have any direction.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, if q1 and q2 have opposite signs, the force vectors are directed towards each other, indicating attraction.
