Problem

In a certain region, adjacent equipotential lines differ by 5 V5\,\text{V}. At point PP the lines are 1.0 mm1.0\,\text{mm} apart, while at point QQ they are 4.0 mm4.0\,\text{mm} apart. Which of the following best compares the magnitudes of the electric fields ∣E⃗P∣|\vec{E}_P| and ∣E⃗Q∣|\vec{E}_Q|? a) ∣E⃗P∣=16 ∣E⃗Q∣|\vec{E}_P| = 16\,|\vec{E}_Q| b) ∣E⃗P∣=14 ∣E⃗Q∣|\vec{E}_P| = \dfrac{1}{4}\,|\vec{E}_Q| c) ∣E⃗P∣=4 ∣E⃗Q∣|\vec{E}_P| = 4\,|\vec{E}_Q| d) ∣E⃗P∣=∣E⃗Q∣|\vec{E}_P| = |\vec{E}_Q|
