Figure shows variation of Coulomb force (F) acting between two point charges with \(\frac{1}{r^{2}}, r\) being the separation between the two charges \(\left(q_{1}, q_{2}\right)\) and ( \(q_{2}, q_{3}\) ). If \(q_{2}\) is positive and least in magnitude, then the magnitudes of \(q_{1}, q_{2}\) and \(q_{3}\) are such that

  1. \({q}_{2} \lt {q}_{3} \lt {q}_{1}\)
  2. \({q}_{3} \lt {q}_{1} \lt {q}_{2}\)
  3. \({q}_{1} \lt {q}_{2} \lt {q}_{3}\)
  4. \({q}_{2} \lt {q}_{1} \lt {q}_{3}\)

Answer

(D) q _ 2 q _ 1 q _ 3
