Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that Colombian force between similar charges is repulsive in nature. Therefore, it means that the direction of force experienced by the charges in North and East will be South and West respectively.
As a result, this means that the forces are going to be towards the south-west direction.
Thus, we can conclude that if you are holding a positive charge and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 m to your north and 1 m to your east. The direction of the force on the charge you are holding should be in south-west direction.
