The electric field lines are closer together near object `A` than they are near object `B`. We can conclude that.

Options

A. the potential near `A` is greater than the potential near `B`.
B. the potential near `A` is less than the potential near `B`.
C. the potential near `A` is equal to the potential near `B`.
D. nothing about the relative potentials near `A and B`.

Answer

a

Explanation

Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. So it epends on whether the lines of forces are from A to B or from B to A.
