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

In a strong electric field, field lines are crowded, and in a weak field, lines are sparse. From the figure, we can say that the field at A is stronger than the field at
`therefore E_(A) gt E_(B)`
