Consider a Positively Charged Square Plate of Finite Size (A

Multiple Choice

Consider a positively charged square plate of finite size (a few centimeters on edge) . Point P lies in the same plane as the plate and is a few centimeters away from one edge of the plate. If point P were moved slightly away (parallel with the plane) , the magnitude of the E-field (compared to its direction before the movement of P) would

A) increase monotonically (continually) but not uniformly.
B) increase at first, then decrease.
C) decrease monotonically (continually) but not uniformly.
