What is the sign of these fields’ divergence at point P on each diagram? (Hint: Draw a cross-sectional view of a small div-meter centered on the point in question, and sketch the electric field vectors at the midpoint of each of the div-meter’s four sides in the drawing’s plane. Don’t worry about how we might create such a field.

A. The divergence is positive.
B. The divergence is negative.
C. The divergence is zero.


B. The divergence is negative.
