Figure shows line of constant potential ...

Figure shows line of constant potential in a region in which an electric field is present. The values of the potential are written in brackets. Of the points A, B and C, the magnitude of the electric field is greatest at the point………….

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
It is greatest at point B because at B the equipotential surfaces are closest.
