The given figure shows three arrangements of electric field lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and is then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements. For each arrangement, as you move from point A to point B is the electric field increasing, decreasing, or remains the same? (For arrangement (a), is the electric field increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same?; same for (b) and also for (c)). Please clearly explain the reasoning. (I just posted this question but realized I left out part of the sentence that starts "For each arrangement, ...". I had left out the "to point B". So reposting to give full problem.)
