Figure 16-50 shows electric field lines due to a point charge. What can you say about the field at point 1 compared with the field at point 2? (a) The field at point 2 is larger, because point 2 is on a field line. (b) The field at point 1 is larger, because point 1 is not on a field line. (c) The field at point 1 is zero, because point 1 is not on a field line. (d) The field at point 1 is larger, because the field lines are closer together in that region. $2 FIGURE 16–50 MisConceptual Question 4.
