Two identical point charges are placed at a separation of $d$. $P$ is a point on the line joining the charges, at a distance $x$ from any one charge. The field at $P$ is $E$, $E$ is plotted against $x$ for values of $x$ from close to zero to slightly less than $d$. Which of the following represents the resulting curve

  • A
    116-a15
  • B
    116-b15
  • C
    116-c15
  • D
    116-d15
