Point D is the weakest point (option D)
Why is this correct?
In the representation of an electric field using field lines and equipotential lines, the spacing between field lines indicates the strength of the electric field. Closer spacing of field lines implies a stronger electric field, while wider spacing between field lines suggests a weaker electric field.
In the image provided, if point D displays less closely spaced field lines compared to points A, B, and C, it implies that the electric field strength at point D is weaker than at the other points.
Therefore, based on the field-line representation, point D is where the electric field is weakest because the field lines are less closely packed, signifying a weaker intensity of the electric field at that specific point in space.
See missing part of the question on the attached image.
The field-line representation of the e-field in a certain region in space is shown below. The dashed lines represent equipotential lines.
