Concept:
- Electric charge is the basic physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when kept in an electric or magnetic field.
- An electric charge is associated with an electric field and the moving electric charge generates a magnetic field.
- A combination of electric and magnetic fields is known as the electromagnetic field.
- Interaction of the charges generates an electromagnetic force which is the foundation of Physics.
The two types of electric charges are:
1. Positive
2. Negative
Calculation:
Given-
Charges on the system = +Q, -2Q, +Q and -5Q.
Charge on the system will show the additive nature.
i.e Net or total charge on the system = sum of all the charges enclosed by the system.
so, QT = (+Q) + (-2Q) + Q + (-5Q)
⇒ QT = +2Q - 2Q - 5Q
∴ QT = -5Q
Hence, option - 2 is correct
