A positively charged ball hangs from a silk thread.we put a positive test charge q at a point and measure F/q. Then it can be predicted that the electric field strength E: a) >(F/q?) b)=(F/q?) c)<(F/q?) d) cannot be estimated Give reason for answer

That charge when placed at any point in the influence of electric field of the positively charged ball whose electric lines of force are directed outwards...then they both will repel each other....in that case distance would increase....and gradually f/q shoukd decrease as a matter of fact...isnt it??
