I believe C is correct, but you should be referring to the equation that would lead you to that conclusion. Can you post the relevant equation?YMMMA said:
No, it's a vector equation involving the charge density and a property of the electric field...YMMMA said:
I looked for this rule, but I don’t understand why would I use a rule to answer the question? Is it because it is more dense at the tip, so greater electric field?berkeman said:

Aha, It's clear now. Thanks for you help!berkeman said:
The magnitude of the electric field is affected by the distance from the source of the electric field, the strength of the source, and the medium through which the electric field travels.
No, the magnitude of the electric field can vary at different points in space depending on the factors that affect it, such as the distance from the source and the medium through which it travels.
The magnitude of the electric field decreases with distance from the source, following an inverse-square relationship. This means that as distance from the source doubles, the magnitude of the electric field decreases by a factor of four.
Yes, the magnitude of the electric field can be negative. This occurs when the direction of the electric field is opposite to the direction of the electric force on a positive charge.
The electric field at a specific point can be calculated by dividing the electric force on a test charge at that point by the magnitude of the test charge. This can also be calculated using Coulomb's Law, which states that the electric field is directly proportional to the source's charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
