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

Options

A. `E_(A) gt E_(B)`
B. `E_(A) lt E_(B)`
C. `E_(A) = E_(B)//r`
D. `E_(A)=E_(B)//r^(2)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Since the density of the electric lines of force at A is more than that at B, the electric field at `A, E_(A) gt E_(B)` (electric field at B).
