The ratio N_f/N_d is known as shape factor, where N_f is the number of flow lines and N_d is the number of equipotential drops. Flow net is always drawn with a constant b/a ratio, where b and a are distances between two consecutive flow lines and equipotential lines, respectively. Assuming that b/a ratio remains the same, the shape factor of a flow net will change if the
A
upstream and downstream heads are interchanged
B
soil in the flow space is changed
C
dimensions of the flow space are changed
D
head difference causing the flow is changed

Correct : c
