Two point charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are fixed at $x = 0$ and $x = a$. Assuming that the electric field strength is positive in the direction coinciding with the positive direction of $x$,which of the following options is correct?

  • A
    Both $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are negative with $|Q_1| > |Q_2|$.
  • B
    $Q_1$ is positive and $Q_2$ is negative with $|Q_1| > |Q_2|$.
  • C
    $Q_1$ is negative and $Q_2$ is positive with $|Q_1| > |Q_2|$.
  • D
    Both are positive with $|Q_1| > |Q_2|$.
