Question

Figure shows the electric lines of force emerging from a charged body. If the electric field at $A$ and $B$ are $E_A$ and $E_B$ respectively and if the displacement between $A$ and $B$ is $r$, then :

• A. $E_A>E_B$
• B. $E_A<E_B$
• C. $E_A=E_B/r$
• D. $E_A=E_B/r^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $E_A>E_B$

The higher the number of electric lines of force per unit area in a particular region, more will be the strength of the field.

therefore, $E_A>E_B$
