Same magnitude and both have a positive charge

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The charge is positive because the lines are leaving away from the charge
  • This is same for both a and b charges
  • The relative magnitude is shown by the proximity/separation (density of the lines)
  • The proximity of the lines generated by charge a is equal to the proximity of the lines generated by charge b
  • The magnitudes of both the lines are the same
  • Both charges a and b have the same magnitude and positive charge
