Question
which point in the electric field is the least intense? point c point a point b
The electric field intensity around a charge is inversely related to the distance from the charge (by Coulomb's law for electric fields: \( E \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \), where \( E \) is electric field intensity and \( r \) is the distance from the charge). Points closer to the charge (like Point B) have higher intensity, and points farther away have lower intensity. Among the options, Point A is the farthest from the negative charge (the blue circle with - sign), so it has the least electric field intensity.
