The electric field lines on the left have twice the separation of those on the right as shown in the figure. If the magnitude of the electric field at $A$ is $40 \ Vm^{-1}$,what is the force on a $20 \ \mu C$ charge kept at $B$?

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-4} \ N$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-4} \ N$
  • C
    $16 \times 10^{-4} \ N$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^{-4} \ N$
