Homework Statement


Find the points where the equipotential line is tangent to the thick black line


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I thought that it was A, G and K, because there, the electric field is horizontal and thus perpendicular to the black line and electric field is always perpendicular to equipotential line. However, I am getting the answer wrong.

How do I approach this problem?
