Question

Figure shows three points A, B and C in a region of uniform electric field$\overset{\rightarrow}{E}$. The line AB is perpendicular and BC is parallel to the field lines. Then which of the following holds good?

(Where V_A,V_B and V_c represent the electric potential at the points A, B and C respectively)

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

V­_A­ = V_B> V_C

Answer 2

Along electric field, potential decreases and perpendicular to field, potentials are same.

\ V_A = V_B > V_C
