A

the electric field has a greater magnitude at point A and is directed to left.

B

the electric field a greater magnitude at point A and is idrected to right.

C

the electric field has a greater magnitude at point B and is directed to left.

D

the electric field has a greater magnitude at point B is directed to right.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Magnitude of the electric field is maximum where the equipotentials are close together. The direction of the field is from high potential to low potential
