Physics Electric Charges and Fields Matching Type Question MCQ (Single Correct)

The electric field E is measured at a point generated due to various charge distributions and the dependence of E on d is found to be different for different charge distributions. Column-I contains different relations between E and d. Column-II describes different electric charge distributions, along with their locations. Match the functions in Column-I with the related charge distributions in Column-II.
