Question
Figure shows some of the electric field lines corresponding to an electric field. The figure suggests that
Options
EA > EB > EC
EA = EB = EC
EA = EC > EB
EA = EC < EB
Solution
EA = EC > EB
The crowding of electric field lines at a point shows the strength of the field at that point. More the crowding of field lines, more will be the field strength. At points A and C, there's equal crowding, whereas at point B, the lines are far apart. Therefore, EA = EC > EB
