A uniform electric field pointing in positive x-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be the point on the x-axis at `x=+1cm ` and C be the point on the y-axis at `y=+1`cm. then the potetial at the points A,B and C satisfy
a. `V_AltV_B`, b. `V_AgtV_B` c. `V_AltV_C` d. `V_AgtV_C`

A

`V_CgtV_A and V_A=V_B`

B

`V_AgtV_C and V_A=V_B`

C

`V_AgtV_C and V_AgtV_B`

D

`V_A=V_C and V_AgtV_B`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Potential decrease in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equiptontial lines.
`:. V_A=V_C and V_AgtV_B`
Hence the corrent option is b.
