Expert Solution
Step 1
The electric field is defined as the rate of decrease in potential with respect to the distance.
Part (a)
The potential is decreasing faster with respect to distance in the direction where point A is located in comparison to where point B is located (i.e. about point A there is more decreases in potential in moving comparatively less distance).
Therefore, the magnitude of field is bigger at A i.e. EA > EB.
