Solution

The correct option is D D
From the definition of intensity of electric field,

E=kQr2

So, if r is constant.

EQ .....(1)

For the given curves, at x=r0, we can see that,

ED>EC>EB>EA

and from eq. (1)

QD>QC>QB>QA

Hence, curve D represent Ex curve of charge having bigger magnitude.

Therefore, option (d) is correct.
