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_A lt V_B`

B

`V_A gt V_B`

C

`V_A ltV_C`

D

`V_AgtV_C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

b. As we move along the direction of electric field, potential decreases. So `V_(A)letV_(B)`.
