Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
The lines are closer together near the sphere and spread out as distance increases.
The lines are evenly spaced at all distances from the sphere.
The lines are further apart near the sphere and become denser with distance.
The lines do not change density with distance from the sphere.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Near a positively charged sphere the electric field is strong, so the lines are drawn closer together. Other options are incorrect because Some students think the lines stay the same spacing, but this ignores that a point charge creates a stronger field near it; Others imagine lines get denser far from the sphere, but the opposite happens.

Definition
Electric field induction occurs in insulators, creating dipoles due to the rearrangement of electrons when subjected to an external electric field. This phenomenon leads to the polarization of insulators, forming layers of induced charges. Understanding electric field induction is essential in studying dielectrics and their impact on electric fields.
