Question

Figure shows some of the electric field lines corresponding to an electric field. The figure suggests that

Options

•  E_A > E_B > E_C

• E_A = E_B = E_C

•  E_A = E_C > E_B

• E_A = E_C < E_B

Answer 1

 E_A = E_C > E_B

The crowding of electric field lines at a point shows the strength of the field at that point. More the crowding of field lines, more will be the field strength. At points A and C, there's equal crowding, whereas at point B, the lines are far apart. Therefore, E_A = E_C > E_B
