Question
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 

Answer

From graph it can be observed that field is always in the $+ve$ direction. This means a must $be +ve$ and $b$ must be $-ve.$

If both are positive, then field must become zero and change it's direction afterward.

If both are negative, then field must be in$-ve$ direction when it is close to $a.$

$a-ve$ and $b +ve$ means field must always $be-ve.$
