Question

An electric field is spread uniformly in Y-axis. Consider a point A as origin point. The co-ordinates of point Bare equal to (0, 2) m. The co-ordinates of point C are (2, 0) m. At points A, Band C, electric potentials are $V_A \, V_B \, and \, V_C$ respectively. From the following options, which is correct ?

• A. $V_A = V_C < V_B$
• B. $V_A = V_B = V_C$
• C. $V_A = V_B > V_C$
• D. $V_A = V_C > V_B$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$V_A = V_C > V_B$

Answer 2

Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted
lines are equipotential lines
$\therefore V_A = V_C > V_B$
