The diagram shows the electric field in the vicinity of a charge.

One positive charge labeled Y. Vectors start perpendicular to the surface and spread out in all directions. Directly above is W. On the right is X and on the left is Z. The vectors are closer together below the charge and further apart above.
At which point is the electric field strongest?

W
X
Y
Z

Z.

The strength of the electric field is indicated by how close the field lines (vectors) are — denser lines = stronger field. The lines are closest at Z, so the field is strongest there. (Field at the charge point Y itself is not a finite value for a point charge.)
