At which point is the electric field stronger?

Open in App

Solution

The magnitude of an electric field is directly proportional to the density of electric field lines.
When the lines are closer to each other, the electric field is the strongest, when the field lines are far apart from each other, the electric field is the weakest.
For the condition given in the above diagram, at point A the electric field is stronger.
