Explanation The electric charges create an electric field in their proximity. This electric field is known to be electric force per unit charge. These lines move from positive charge to negative charge. In other words, the magnitude of the electric field will be higher if the field lines are more adjacent to the point. For the given Figure, it is clear that point B has field lines closer to it. Point B is followed by C with the next set of closest lines and finally by point A...
