Question

which point in the electric field is the least intense? point a point b point c

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The electric field intensity around a point charge follows the inverse - square law, \(E=\frac{kQ}{r^{2}}\), where \(E\) is the electric field intensity, \(k\) is a constant, \(Q\) is the charge, and \(r\) is the distance from the charge. The farther a point is from the source charge (the red positive charge here), the weaker the electric field intensity. By observing the diagram, Point B is the farthest from the positive charge among Points A, B, and C. So the electric field at Point B is the least intense.

Answer:

Point B
