Two point charges $a$ and $b$, whose magnitudes are same are positioned at a certain  distance from each other with a at origin. Graph is drawn between electric field strength at  points between $a$ and $b$ and distance $x$ from a $E$ is taken positive if it is along the line joining from to be. From the graph, it can be decided that

  • A

    $a$ is positive, $b$ is negative

  • B

    $a$ and $b$ both are positive

  • C

    $a$ and $b$ both are negative

  • D

    $a$ is negative, $b$ is positive
