The discussion centers on determining the point of greatest electric field (E-field) magnitude in a given configuration. User A asserts that the tip of the charge distribution (point C) has the highest E-field due to the concentration of charges, while User B suggests that point D, being pulled inward, may also represent a significant magnitude. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards the understanding that the E-field strength correlates with charge density and divergence, emphasizing the need to refer to vector equations involving these properties for accurate conclusions.

I believe C is correct, but you should be referring to the equation that would lead you to that conclusion. Can you post the relevant equation?YMMMA said:
No, it's a vector equation involving the charge density and a property of the electric field...YMMMA said:
I looked for this rule, but I don’t understand why would I use a rule to answer the question? Is it because it is more dense at the tip, so greater electric field?berkeman said:

Aha, It's clear now. Thanks for you help!berkeman said:
