There exists a uniform electric filed in the space as shown. Four points `A, B, C` and `D` are marked which are equildistant from the origin. If and `V_(D)` are their potentials respectively, then

A

`V_(B) gt V_(A) gt V_(C ) gt V_(D)`

B

`V_(A) gt V_(B) gt V_(D) gt V_(C)`

C

`V_(A) = V_(A) gt V_(C ) = V_(D)`

D

`V_(B) gt V_(C) gt V_(A) gt V_(D)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Four lines, perpendicular to lines of electric field and passing through `A, B, C` and `C` are draws. These are equipotential lines. As potential decreases in the direction of electric field, therefore `V_(A) gt V_(B) gtV_(D) gtV_(C )`

It is known that there exists a uniform electric field in a certain region. Imagine an incline plane (figure) in the region which is inclined at theta=37^(@) to the horizontal when one moves horizontally along the incline from A to B (AB=1cm), the electric potential decreases by 10V. Similarly, potential at C(AC=1cm) is less than potential at A by 10 V where line AC lies on the incline and is perpendicualr to AB. When one moves vertically up from point A to a point D(AD=1cm), the potential drop by 10 V again. Find the magnitude of the electric field in the region and the angle that it makes with vertical [given sin37^(@)=(3)/(5) ]
