The figure above shows the electric field lines for three charged particles. Which are the followings are true? I. The potential at point A is smallest comparing to the potentials at the other points B, C, D and E. II. The potentials at locations C and D are same III. Magnitude of the electric field at locations C and D are same IV. Magnitude of the electric field at point A is highest comparing to the potentials at the other points B, C, D and E. V. Charge of q2 can be either positive or negative.
