What do you understand by potential gradiednt ?
Establish a relation between electric field and potential gradient.

Options

A. Electric field is in the direction in which the potential decreases steepest
B. Magnitude of electric field is given by the charge in the magnitude of potential per unit displacement jnormal to the equipotential surface at the point.
C. In the region of strong electrric field, equipotential surfaces are far apart.
D. Both the statements (a) and (b) are correct.

Answer

D

Explanation

In the region of strong electric fields equipotential surfaces are close together and in the region of weak electric fields , equipotential surfaces are far apart.
