An electron is projected, as shown in the figure, with kinetic energy and at an angle between the two charged plates. What should be the magnitude of the electric field between the plates so that the electron just fails to strike the upper charged plate?

Which of the following statements are correct?
(a) The density of electric lines of force at a point is independent of the magnitude of electric field intensity vector at that point.
(b) The density of electric lines of force at a point is proportional to the magnitude of electric field intensity vector at that point.
