The figure shows the electric lines of force emerging from a charged body. If the electric field at \(A\) and \(B\) are \(E_A\) and \(E_B\) respectively and if the displacement between \(A\) and \(B\) is \(r,\) then:

1. \(E_A>E_B\)
2. \(E_A<E_B\)
3. \(E_{A} = \frac{E_{B}}{r}\)
4. \(E_{A} = \frac{E_{B}}{r^{2}}\)

\(X\) and \(Y\) are large, parallel conducting plates close to each other. Each face has an area \(A.\) \(X\) is given a charge \(Q.\) \(Y\) is without any charge. Points \(A,B,\) and \(C\) are as shown in the figure. The incorrect option is:

          

1. the field at \(B\) is \(Q \over2ε_0A\) 2. the field at \(B\) is \(Q\overε_0A\)
3. the fields at \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are of the same magnitude 4. the fields at \(A\) and \(C\) are of the same magnitude but in opposite directions
