The given figure shows equipotential surfaces is an electric field. Three points A, B and C are also shown.
Which among the three points have:
(i) the maximum magnitude of electric field intensity?
(ii) the minimum magnitude of electric field intensity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The equipotential surfaces are closer in the region of strong electric field. Therefore, Electric field intensity is maximum at A and minimum at C.
